 The first of Robert Crais' novels., 2008-10-30
I first picked up a stand alone novel by Robert Crais, Hostage, and enjoyed it very much. I then found out he has a running series, the Elvis Cole novels, and bought the Monkey's Raincoat and the rest is history! I love his novels and have since started buying and reading the novels in sequence. Great writer and I am looking forward to the rest of his novels. Robert Crais reminds me a lot of John Sandford and Harlan Coben, with the wit, humor and action of Lucas Davenport and Myron Bolitar. And now I have Elvis Cole! Outstanding writer and I look forward to each novel that he writes. Highly recommend this author!

Not Bad!, 2008-10-19
Since I've read all Mr Crais novels that didn't feature Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, I thought I'd go back to the beginning and see what I've been missing. I've missed really good stories involving these two. They're really good at what they do. Very entertaining.

first Robert Crais novel, 2008-09-05
This is my first Crais novel and was told in a newspaper review of his latest Elvis Cole book to go back and start with the first Cole adventure. I am so glad I did. It was a great introduction! I will now read every one of them.

Great example of the PI genre, 2008-08-17
This is a thoroughly enjoyable book. The plot seems a little strained toward the middle, but the author ties it back together satisfactorily. The outstanding characters make up for the minor plot weakness. I was quite surprised to see how well the author pulls off the juxtaposition of the taciturn Pike and the facetious and loquacious Cole. It is also nice that the book is not overly burdened with political correctness: One of the female characters starts as a fairly helpless character who strengthens under the pressure of the situation while another starts as a pain in the rear and remains so, realistically. A very enjoyable story.
