review 1: This is one of those books that is written in such a way as to make it very easy to read. A bi-polar FBI agent sets out to solve a case involving the abduction of two girls from a hotel room in Breckenridge, CO. However, while the solving of the case was entertaining and made sense, most of the book revolved around the heroine's personal life, conveyed through a series of inner monologues. But it never gets too deep, as the story moves along at a fast clip, and every thing is resolved neatly by the end of the story.I believe that this is one in a series of books involving the lead character, FBI agent Ren Bryce. I may pick up another if I'm stuck for something to read, but I won't be going out of my way to track one of them down.
review 2: A good read. The com... morements on book cover are misleading. 'Two missing girls and a father who has something to hide'.I suppose that old chestnut attracts more buyers...and I suppose the implication keeps one guessing. The plot is actually about fraud and profit no matter tha consequence to the average man. The crimes perpetrated at the lower end of the pecking order are a result of crime at the very top. The ramifications of greed and irrisponsibility for personal gain are at the root of this mystery. The FBI agent Ren, is quite an interesting character..tho' one does grow abit tired of these 'gorgeous' women who are irrisistable to all male colleagues even tho they don't sleep, bathe or eat ever. Nevermind, our heroine who has no bed, kitchen or bathroom is bi-polar....an interesting backdrop to the chaos which ensues when people commit crimes as a result of medication for her particular illness. Also slightly boring after a while is her and her colleagues endless witty banter. They never fail to deliver clever retorts to one another. Their repartee is quite difficult to follow at first but one soon cottons on .... No prosaic word passes our manic heroine's lips albeit she is unwashed, unfed and suffering from sleep deprivation !!! less
