Deliver Us From Evil

Somewhat better than the first A. Shaw book, The Whole Truth. Better characterisation, and a decent plot, but not up to the standard of his other books. I wonder if there will be a third in the series?

Once the story got moving, I think I liked it better than The Whole Truth. Enough that I'll probably pick up the next Shaw book when it comes out. Shaw and Frank (who's my favorite character) seemed more fleshed out. I was disappointed that Katie James barely made an appearance until near the end, though I did enjoy Baldacci's wink at the Reacher comparisons many have made with Shaw. I could have done without Reggie. I'm sure she'll be back, if only to annoy me.
