About book Breathing Water: A Bangkok Thriller (2009)

Another excellent addition to this exciting series. Great characters. I've become attached to Poke, Rose and their daughter and some of the secondary characters as well. All three books have been gritty page-turners. The subject matter is usually tough but handled well. I always get wrapped up in the story and find the dialogue and the story lines both believable and well thought out. The Thai setting always provides an interesting adventure. I was reading another "thriller" that felt so absurd and formulaic in comparison to this one. I look forward to finishing this series and trying another by this author. I love that Hallinan brought Superman back in this book, and allowed us to see how he's grown--and what an amazing kid he is. This book is gut-wrenching and heart-wrenching, and you'll remember the story long after you put it down.Some things that go on in this world are more than the mind can deal with. . . are we better off knowing or not knowing? Next time you see a story of someone adopting an asian baby, you'll worry and wonder.
