I didn't think it was as good as the previous 3 books, but I still enjoyed it. I'm rooting for Sasha and Leo to get their love life worked out!
In this book Sasha didn't have any interaction with her Krav Maga instructor and I missed that. I like reading about her workouts with him and his surprise "attacks" that test her skills.

Sasha does it again. This commercial attorney makes another foray into criminal law, although through reporting a theft that caused a federal contract violation and helping with enforcement actions by federal agents. The actual case she is involved with is focused on anti-competitive behavior among pharmaceutical businesses. The indispensable party thwarts her attempt at getting a temporary restraining order. Excellent story with good characters who develop and change in this story and others from the same author.

I've been reading through all the Sasha McCandless books in order and this is the first one that seemed like just another book in the series. It was still enjoyable and still a fun, quick read that kept me entertained, but it didn't really break any new ground.
Sasha and her fiancee (?) Leo are working on their long-distance relationship when they get sucked into yet another crazy situation. Someone has stolen the doomsday virus from Leo's pharmaceutical company and they might release it into the public and create a deadly pandemic.
Honestly, as someone who reads Tom Clancy and a lot of other more "serious" authors (I hate to use that word but can't think of a better one), I almost felt like the end of the world scenario wasn't treated catastrophically enough. But it fit well with the framework of the other Sasha McCandless books.
I think I'll give Sasha a break before I dive into book #5, but I'll definitely be reading it.

I loved this one the most so far... particularly because it the threat of a pandemic particularly appeals to me (at least in the fictional realm). Another quick fun legal thriller!

Fast-moving, action-packed, and with less annoying to-and-fro between the leads, one of the best yet. On to the novella next.
