No Más (Booker, #5)

I have been following this series from the beginning and I have become quite enamoured with Booker T. Adams. This title can be read as a stand-alone, but it would be in your best interest to read the series in order which will provide one with a better insight into each of the characters.

In this installment Booker finds himself in the Dominican Republic as he was hired to find his ex-girlfriend who was wanted on several counts of murder in Dallas, Texas. New evidence had come to light which indicated that she was residing on the Caribbean island. While there he found himself embroiled in another case which in true Booker fashion will have readers on the edge of their seats. There are kidnappers and members of the drug cartel to contend with.
We are introduced to some new and interesting characters. They were a great addition to the story. My favourite was the homeless teenager Bolt. This is not his real name but when you read the story you will understand why he calls himself Bolt. Some interesting facts in regards to Booker’s past came to light within this story which revealed more of his human side. These events enabled him to let go of the bitterness he has been harbouring in his heart in regards to the absence of his from his life while growing up.

Like all the books in the series, No Mas was fast paced, suspenseful and action packed. It was filled with twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end. The story is riveting and will hold your interest from start to finish.

My only problem with this story was that there were some comments which were made in Spanish. Having not being a student of the language, this made it a bit challenging for me to read. The comments were translated, but I had to reread certain parts so that I did not get lost as at times the translation did not immediately follow the comments made.

If you enjoy, mysteries/thrillers that will get your blood pumping and your heart racing at every page turn then you need to read this series. You definitely will not regret it.
