Third Strike by Zoë SharpMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Zoe Sharp certainly hasn't lost her edge with #7 in the Charlie Fox series. Taut drama, tight prose, plot twists and action jumping out on every page, Third Strike is a must read for anyone who loves action and suspense.
When someone sets off a wad of plastique (figuratively speaking) in Charlie's father's reputation, Charlie doesn't take it lying down. Regardless of how they feel about each other, in Charlie's world... you don't f**k with family! Not if you want to walk away without serious physical impairment... or worse!
I won't give away the surprise at the end, but it does make me want to jump right into the next in the series, Fourth Day. I should probably go back and pick up the one's I missed though... Killer Instinct - Zoe's incredible debut novel - is the only other one I've read so far. Trust me... I will remedy that!
If you're already a fan of Zoe's writing, nothing I say here will surprise you... you know already... and if you're not? What are you waiting for?
Now, I'm off to see where I can find Riot Act.
Thank you, Zoe, for some of the best writing in the genre I have come across in a long while, and an absolutely unforgettable character in Charlie Fox.
I recommend Third Strike whole-heartedly.

I know... it's a big pain, isn't it? But, I've got to keep the spam-bots and spiders out... they're always leaving candy wrappers and pop cans laying about; sloppy little buggers!
Thank you.
