No mystery or suspense. Molasses thick.

Authorization gives away the mystery within a couple chapters. Romance and emotional 1st person dialogs was like thick molasses. BORING!

Between the monotonic narration and the lack of meaningful progress for the first three quarters of the novel, you .right put it down. And you could skip that much and not miss anything. Not his best work.

16 hours of narcistic bragging. Plot is very poor. Would definitely pass on this one unless you are into self punishment.

The narration was rushed and always at stress. The Lee Child touch was missed. The story was good, but it seemed one dimensional.

Story
On the evening of November 24, 1971, D. B. Cooper hijacked Flight 305—Portland to Seattle—with a fake bomb, collected a ransom of $200,000, and then parachuted from the rear of the plane, disappearing into the night...and into history. Fifty years later, Agent Pendergast takes on a bizarre and gruesome case: in the ghost-haunted city of Savannah, Georgia, bodies are found with no blood left in their veins—sowing panic and reviving whispered tales of the infamous Savannah Vampire.

Very entertaining
Reviewed: 10-27-21
The story is good, but refers frequently to past exploits in very brief, which could be confusing if the reader hasn't read the other volumes first. Most bothersome is the narrator, who narrates as if he were in a race, giving little character to his voices, making it a difficult listen. Worse, his pronunciation of character names is not consistent with previous volumes is very disturbing to the concentration required to listen.

while a bit slow, setting up the groundwork for multiple subplots, it ends on a cliff hanger, like the last episode of a tv series. make sure you can get your hands on the next book in the series, or this one WILL PISS YOU OFF!

Loved the story.. The narration though is too fast, and monotonic. Even in the exciting parts, I often fell asleep.
