review 1: This is from a review by "Shannon" here on Goodreads: "the plot really isn't that bad (only reason this is getting 2 stars instead of 1), but the writing is just terrible - the dialogue is a complete nightmare. Every. Single. Sentence....But what really got me was the excruciating, painfully bad dialogue. Coulter's editor needs to take her and shake her because there is no excuse to write this badly after authoring so many books."I agree with all of that except that the plot had some major holes, so I gave it one star. I bought this on vacation when I finished the other books I had brought. Otherwise I would never have finished it. This is the first book I've read by Catherine a Coulter and I don't plan on reading another.Also, every good guy and girl in this book is str... moreong, handsome or beautiful, smart, and loved and admired by all. I prefer crime novels with flawed (real life) heroes. That's just my personal preference. There are other authors like Coulter who write only perfect heroes - to each his or her own.
review 2: This is the 16th FBI thriller, and it certainly is a good one. FBI Agent Dillon Savich is delivered a note "For what you did you deserve this", just as he and his partner Lacey Sherlock are preparing to go to San Francisco to investigate the shooting of the friend Federal Judge Ramsey Hunt.As usual this series does not disappoint. I love Savich and Sherlock, and the rotating cast of characters that have been in other books, or who are new to this one. less
