#NoGoodDeed is a follow up to King Tides and returns with familiar characters, Jon Lancaster and Beth Daniels. The narrative delves a bit deeper into Jon’s past, revealing the drive behind his long standing career in law enforcement and Team Adam. The plot is tense at times and plays out much as an action-movie of the same genre would. While there isn’t anything particular that isolates this novel from many others of its kind, James Swain’s prose is insightful and amusing. The added element of wit and satire he has added to his main character truly entertains. 4 stars.

Thank you to #NetGalley for this ARC

Jon Lancaster is an ex-Navy Seal who volunteers with Team Adam,a cadre of former law enforcement and ex-military personnel mobilized by the National Center for missing and Exploited Children who go places and do things their uniformed colleagues can't or don't. Named after Adam Walsh, whose abduction and murder several decades ago spurred his father John Walsh to spotlight the problem and advise the Center on how to fight heinous crimes against children, Lancaster teams up with an . attractive FUN agent who can't decide if he's a help or a hindrance in her efforts to solve one crime, which naturally leads to a string of previously unknown or seemingly unconnected crimes.. A well-crafted, if predictable tale.

I loved this atmospheric novel that is fast paced and with good plot and character development.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review this book I

Jon Lancaster, former detective, private investigator, and now volunteer for Team Adam involves himself in what turns out to be a kidnapping ring. Instead of children, it’s women of all ages, but why? He and FBI agent, Beth Daniels, go on a wild chase to discover the answer.

I have read all of James Swain's books. I really like the writing. All the main characters are good people with flaws. This is the second book about Jon Lancaster who is a former Seal, Detective, and now works for Team Adam which is an organization that helps with kidnapped and exploited people. This one has him in his home state of Florida, he is trying to help find missing girl. He is helped by a lot of people from different walks of life. He works with is Beth Daniels an FBI agent that he helped in the first book and dated briefly.
I highly recommend this book and in fact I recommend any book by this author. Thank you Net galley , I enjoyed this story !

A very average thriller than all too frequently got bogged down in sermonizing about human trafficking. I get it. Human trafficking is bad. We should all hate human trafficking. But telling us that over and over does not make for an engaging narrative.

One stays inside the lines (and probably even highlights them) while the other thinks of them merely as suggestions (or maybe obstacles). When the FBI is called in to investigate the disappearance of several women, Beth Daniels gets the call. Already there is her former lover and ex-SEAL, ex-cop Jon Lancaster. The dynamics of their relationship and their philosophies regarding crime and punishment fuel the storyline in this the second installment of a very enjoyable series.

I've read most of James Swain's books. Some I've liked, and some I've loved. This is the latter.

This is the 2nd in a series of books with this character, and I'm hoping for more. This was a fun mystery, with a great lead detective. With this book, you not only get a mystery, but it also explores the detectives and their relationship. You get a real sense of the people. I was also drawn into the mystery and wanted to know what was going to happen next.

This was a fun, fast, really entertaining read.

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. It i my first book read by this author. I hope to read more books by this author.

Really enjoyed this. Refreshing read, great job. Full review on the blog coming shortly. . Really great job!
