This novel for me was initially a standalone and I did not read this in the order that the Robert Crais novels were written. However as the novel concerns the past of Carol Starkey and an important part of her past then really you should try and read this in date order. I found it a little confusing to go back in time.
Demolition Angel at the time of writing is not available on Kindle in the UK and this is why I did not read it in order as I had to buy this in the UK and have it shipped to Qatar.
Carol Starkey worked with the bomb squad and was badly injured when a bomb went off. In this novel we get to understand her rehabilitation from the aftermath and trauma. How she finds romance and why she is such a spikey character.
All of this human interest is set against the background of a serial bomber called Mr Red and how he is tracked down. Lots of red herrings and sub plots in this novel and I enjoyed it very much.
8/10 for me.
