Reviews for The Silent Victims

[Ursula Nic Suibhne · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I like this series but this book reads out of synch with others and the plot is like an old cynic that has thrown together weird right-wing ideas about the left. For me, Hanlon (tool of capitalist oppression) is whiney and silly, and offensive - just not credible. Well, beyond the artistic license we allowed in earlier books. You can only ask so much off your reader.
