This book is for lovers of the thrill of life. Anything and everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, a typical Murphy’s Law novel.
In this novel, chaos reigns. This story concentrates on the action taking place without much character build up. We aren't made aware of what is going on in the character's thoughts. “The Standoff” is more like a very lengthy newspaper report than a novel.
"The Standoff," the first novel by Chuck Hogan, describes the complexities of crime scenes, negotiating and the intense feelings of anti government feelings that exist in some areas of rural America. It seems as if the author is looking on as an outside observer to present legal aspects to the decisions that the law enforcement officials make at the time of crisis.
I’m not one for this type of fiction, yet Hogans style of writing made this an easy read yet extremely mind gripping. “The Standoff” is definitely under the list of good reads.
