really liked it

It’s time to ARTICULATE!!!

Well, my nearly 2 decades waiting is over! Since I’ve been devouring Myron Bolitar’s adventures and gallons of yohoo chocolate drinks, I truly enjoyed Win&Myron as a team, adored their loyal, extremely entertaining bromance, action packed thrilling journeys! Those guys are polar opposites but their opposite attributes helped them complete each other perfectly to solve cases and form a unique friendship for years! But I always wish Win should have his own series! Finally my wishes come true!

Interesting fact about Windsor Horne Lockwood III is if I directly meet with his character via this book, I probably hate the guts of him at first! This guy is white privileged, arrogant, vile, relentless, rude and he likes to cross the lines because HE CAN!

Don’t get fooled by his perfectly nice gentleman vibes in public! Because he perfectly disguises the caged animal he hid inside! He knows how to kick assess! He’s extremely talented fighter. He’s wild, vicious, bloodthirsty! But don’t worry he uses dark side to punish the people who can easily get away with the crimes they committed! Day time he’s charming gazillionaire and at the night time he’s the real punisher of the perverts, psychopaths, stalkers etc. He also has VIP Tinder app for the extinguished billionaires who likes one night stand sexcapades!

I know I drew a negative picture of his characteristics but don’t worry: this charming, extra rich man takes no sh*t, straight to the point, smart and he’s not merciless, careless douchebag! We saw how he stood for Myron before and how he saved him several times! As we read more we start to understand why he’s so reluctant to have longtime relationships, how he deals with his dysfunctional family burdens.

The story starts with Win’s secret meeting with a famous basketball coach to punish him viciously ( we’ll learn his real motives later) And after he jumps into his private jet to make a visit to Myron’s ex office- now a new law firm office he invested. But his meeting cut by two officers who take him to a murder scene at one of the most prestigious buildings of Manhattan.

When he steps into the apartment, he sees a Vermeer - a quiet expensive painting hang on the wall which has been stolen from Lockwood mansion decades ago along with Picasso painting. Neither thieves nor the paintings have been found for years!

The other thing makes him a suspect of the murder is a suitcase with his initials on it. He hasn’t seen this suitcase for years and even though his initials is on the suitcase, the original owner of it is his cousin. But if he tells this info to the officers, it will open cans of worms about his family secrets and tragic events related his uncle’s murder and his cousin’s kidnapping for 5 months. At the time his cousin has been captured, she has taken this suitcase with her and she has never seen it for years!

As soon as he leaves the crime scene, his old friend PT who has dragged to undercover FBI operations calls him after a long time, fills him in the man who is killed is one of the members of Jane Street Six! The group members threw out Molotovs and one of them hit the telephone pole which distracted the attention of Port Authority bus driver whose vehicle plunged into East River! All the passengers were drawn along with the driver.

After the incident: entire group members have been vanished. Only one of them: Lake Davies turned herself in. But she insisted that Rhys Strauss who is assumed to be drawn is the victim of their case! So she might have lied!

Could Jane Street Six members be also the reasons of tragic events his family is still trying to deal with?

Win’s investigation can shed a light ugly truths about his own past! But this never stopped him, right?

Overall: I enjoyed this action packed, twisty, fast pacing and promising start of brand new series!

I also love to see Win has his own limited digital series! This complex, enigmatic, ultra charismatic man will probably look so good on our TV screens!

And I’m looking forward to read more Win and Myron crossovers in near future! I adore both of those characters! I haven’t seen them in action since I’ve read Home! I hope we get more books in near future!!!
