I liked this a whole lot more than all the other Bullet Catchers but I could not give it more than the 3-star "I liked it" rating because of the plot weakness.

The person responsible for Eileen Stafford's predicament is supposed to be someone so powerful he "can do anything" to quote Eileen. Yet thirty years later, the circumstances haven't changed in that Eileen is still afraid of this person just as this person is afraid Eileen will spill secrets? I don't buy this - she accepted the deal to go plead guilty for murder and went to prison. If this all-powerful person is so afraid of Eileen spilling the beans (about who he is etc)he could have had her killed in prison. Yet here she is, 30 years later, in hospital needed a marrow transplant and the heroine, her daughter, is in serious danger because Mr All-Powerful is still after them?

I found it all really implausible but having said that, Bullet Catcher No. 7 is a fast, exhilarating read. Vanessa and Wade are a good match though, at the start, I felt Vanessa was too hard and snarky for Wade who, though he kills, is a warm, gentlemanly charming guy even if he's killed people in his line of work.

Not having followed the series closely (it's missing something I can't quite define), I got a little confused when it says here it's Book 7 but on Amazon it's Book 5 of the the Bullet Catchers. A reviewer explained it: Now you Hide is Book 5 of the Bullet Catchers but Book 2 of a trilogy (First You Run being the first of the trilogy). I'm not sure if this clears it up for me since the trilogy are also Bullet Catcher stories.

If I'm wrong about that glaring hole, I'd be most happy to ber corrected because despite the general weakness I've found in the series, I like this type of RS. They're easy to read, formulaic, with no unpleasant surprises and I buy them the minute they hit the shelves.
