"Demolition Angel" by Robert Crais
Robert Crais is the author of the Elvis Cole series, and "Demolition Angel" one of his standalone novels featuring bomb technician, Carol Starkey. There are many other characters in the book to support this story -- were they all fully developed? Who did you identify with the most?

Good book. The author kept my interest from the beginning. Carol Starkey is a strong character with her own unique weaknesses having resulted from a horrific accident. She is an indefatigable investigator who is concerned about solving the crime, even after she has been 'fired.' Jack Pell complements her personality, even though he has his own agenda & is at odds with Starkey to get "Red" because of his own physical debilitation. The characters meld well; the motive seems substantive, & the author ties up all the loose ends. Good book - I suggested my husband read it. He did , & enjoyed it. This , by the way , is very rare. he almost never reads, and likes, a book I recommend.
