Review: The Squandered (Bruno Johnson Series Book #3) by David Putnam
Summary & Review:
The book is fast-paced and well written. There is a lot going on and tension. We find out more about Bruno‘s family and his early life. It was tough to put down the book. After reading this book, you can’t wait for the next book in the series.
“The Squandered” sends Bruno on an emotional high-speed chase as he and Marie leave their rescued children in Costa Rica and risk going back to the U.S. because Bruno‘s father wants them to. Bruno’s brother, who is estranged and in jail, needs Bruno to help find and rescue his kidnapped grandchildren, whom Bruno had no idea existed.
Bruno can’t lie to his dad, and Marie won’t let him go by himself. After running away from the law, they come back to the U.S., where they will have to deal with cruel kidnappers, drug dealers, and government agents who will do anything to keep a secret from the past hidden.
While they are in L.A., Bruno‘s past as a police officer helps explain the chaos they face. Noble, Bruno’s brother, seems to have accidentally stirred up a hornet’s nest of criminals, both inside and outside of prison, and law enforcement agencies all looking for a long-lost load of cocaine worth $9 million. Noble’s grandchildren are also in the crosshairs.
