Shane Scully

review 1: Scully is a detective who got caught doing the wrong thing so he is totally humiliated, forced to take a deal so he wouldn't go to jail, his wife wants him out the house, and his son doesn't want to talk to him. So he moves to a town called Haven, where if you are crooked, you are welcomed. At first when he got there, he was being being judgmental, and I was saying to myself, you have lost your whole way of being for being just like the people you are judging. But as the book, went on, we learn that it was a set up, he was working a case, and being discharged was the only way he could get in on the Haven force. There were several moments where I thought Scully was a goner, but it all worked out in the end. Several of those instances he brought upon himself.

review 2: This book has a special place in my heart. It is one of the few hardbacks I have. And it is special for two reasons. Firstly, because I got it from the late Stephen Cannell himself. My best-friend and sister Jen and I went all the way to Pasadena CA to see him in 2009, and in fact if you look at his book tours pictures you will see us both posing with him. When he found out that two of his youngest fans had come all the way down to Pasadena to see him, and to visit the station where Shane scully worked he gave us free hard bound copies of ON the Grind. The story over all. I love the story, but poor Shane once again gets the crap beaten out of him. Once again his career is threatened in the name of saving others. For those who read closely the information 'revealed' in chapter 13 is hidden in plain sight in the first chapter, and for anyone who has read any of Cannell's Shane Scully Series it is very obvious as soon as the charge sheet comes what is going on. Or at least you hope and pray that what you think is true, really is and that Poor shane has not finally gone around the bend.While it is true that people say because it is part of a series that the MC cannot die, Cannell has no big problem inflicting GBH and serious trauma on the MC, so much so that a book like this sometimes makes the fans wonder if Shane has finally broken. Good pacing, good plotting, more of what I would expect from Stephen Cannell The only problem I have with the entire shane scully series is how shane keeps going. With everything that has happened to him in the other seven books, I'm surprised constantly that he hasn't just gone EOW yet. I try to stay away from spoilers in reviews, but what I will say is that in this one he brings the drama. And beware the citrus orchard. Stephen Cannell was always 'on the grind' when it came to telling stories, always looking for a way to keep us in suspense. With shane scully he found it. less
