I expected that too. Dan must have known, deep down that Lucy and he were never going to be together and that Jack had an inside track.
It seemed unprofessional and childish to me.

Hopefully, he will be a professional and an adult.

From the blurb, I don't think the Bullet Catchers play a big role in his book. This would make sense considering he left them in the lurch.

I got why Dan has his nose out of joint, but Lucy never gave him any reason to believe they could be anything more than friends. If he doesn't come to terms with that then he is just not the man I thought he was.
I wasn't bothered by him not working the Higgins case. Dan was already working on a case in DC, and he did help them out by giving Lucy and Jack some info that he discovered.When Dan told Lucy near the end of the book that he needed a leave of absence and that it was personal, I suspected something had happened while he was in Washington DC. Maybe he met someone, but needs to follow up on whatever mystery she is involved in. I don't think him leaving is just because Lucy is happy with Jack.
You are probably right, Robin. It makes plot sense that Dan is off on a personal mission.
Robin wrote: "I don't think him leaving is just because Lucy is happy with Jack. ."I agree that his leaving wasn't only about Lucy and Jack, but also because he needed to move on. The connection to his earlier case didn't occur to me but I think you are right, Robin.
