Reviews for Lockdown

[funstm · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Short novella. It was alright. Might be better for fans of the Burbank and Parker series than Forensic Instincts. Claire makes a tiny appearance as a bridesmaid. I haven't read Burbank and Parker so this was of little interest. The plot was alright, straightforward crime that was pretty predictable. 2 stars.
