Out of the Dark

In my opinion, the best of the Orphan novels thus far. This is probably because there are multiple story lines going, which both maintains interest through variety and ramps up the suspense. Hurwitz continues to have a fascination with the names of topflight everything, almost like product placement, so if you're into guns, or vodka or tactical gear of all sorts, he's done the research and will bore you with the details. But I suppose this aids verisimilitude for those who are in the know in these areas, but I couldn't care less. Pumped up the tension and the adrenaline rush of physical confrontation are what these stories are about, and what makes them entertaining, a sort of Jack Reacher on steroids. Lots of fun.

I think the best yet. Fast and fun with some good twists. All the orphan books have been great without being the same. Great reads.

I wasn't too sure what to think initially as when I got the book out the librarian said she'd heard mixed reviews. I enjoyed it and it was good to see Joey pop up from the last book in the series. I'm looking forward to the next instalment, although I guess its probably over a year away.

Other than the first one, this is probably the best of the series
