Rendition As Books Mission Road (Tres Navarre #6)
Rick Riordan, triple-crown winner of mystery's most prestigious awards--the Edgar, the Anthony, and the Shamus--returns with a hotter-than-Texas-chili Tres Navarre crime drama. This time Navarre reopens a cold case to catch a killer getting away with murder . . . again."Riordan has a knack for showing readers a crazy good time."--The New York Times Book Review
P.I. Tres Navarre is used to working the razor's edge between legal and life sentence. But when an old friend appears at his door, blood-spattered and wanted for homicide, Tres jumps both feet into a no-man's-land. Eighteen years ago an unsolved murder on notorious Mission Road threw the San Antonio underworld into bloody chaos. Now, armed and dangerous, the target of a citywide manhunt, Tres is on a collision course with the past. For on Mission Road waits a secret that will tear his life apart.

Didn't realize it was #6 in a series; I picked it up because I was curious about this author's adult mysteries (having already read my share of Percy Jackson with the kids.) Will have to go back and see how it all began.This book was fairly entertaining, but it had a lot of profanity. It was neat to read about San Antonio landmarks, though.
I was so happy that Maia finally became something more than the girlfriend character! While I do enjoy the alternating POVs, I felt like these did a disservice to the story because it didn't add anything to the stakes or make the stressful situation feel stressful. The flashbacks were helpful to understand what was happening, but they happened at odd moments that took you out of the moment. For a more complete review check out my blog, Rachael Reads.
A drastic last five pages blew everything I had considered.
This is the only one Ive read in the series so far and I loved every minute of it. There was one particular descriptor the author Rick used at the beginning (describing nausea as an oily ball) that has stuck with me since I read it over a year ago. I love when an author gets a small detail like that to stick with me. Really good, diverse cast of characters. Action on every page.
Rick Riordan is great.I liked his descriptions of San Antonio and the food. His story had good twists that were not overplayed. A good read.
some good twists
