Bruno Johnson book #10
This is my second book I read in this series although I picked this one out of sync in no way did I feel lost not knowing what had happened in the previous books. Mr. Putnam gives us just enough background to situate us without overwhelming us with too many details...so go for it if you wish; this book has a very good story.
In “The Scorned” Bruno lives in Costa Rico with his pregnant wife and 10 recued children from abusing home. When Mary’s obstetrician sees her through a very difficult birth and asked for a favour to accompany his daughter Layla, a college student back to L.A. and deal with Johnny, a vicious gang leader who exploits women and children. In addition to this request, his father asked to bring his mother along back to the States....He couldn’t’ refuse their requests but once on the American turf things turned ugly....
This story deals with a lot and is very exciting. Bruno is a fugitive, a wanted criminal in the U.S. But he has connections and close ties with Drago and his temperamental Rottweiler Waldo. I love how the author depicts the interaction with the animal it made me giggle more than once. We mainly have a lot of action with bodies falling and so many twists and turns to derail everything, nothing is what it seems. The drama starts slow at first but it didn’t take long before things get rolling fast. Poor Bruno, everyone wants money in exchange for something particularly Layla and his mother. A lot goes on in the book. The plot is witty at times, intense at others and often unpredictable. All the characters are great but I loved Waldo the most.
This is another highly entertaining and fabulous novel. The hours I spend reading it was well worth the time.
