review 1: I HIGHLY recommend this romantic thriller set around the Maryland/Washington DC area and involving Indian political and property rights. The plot incorporates the looting of the National Museum of Iraq in 2004, the 2007 US Department of Defense deck of cards created to educate troops about protecting cultural resources in the Middle East, and Thermo-Con, including an environmental assessment of a house made out of a strange, yeasty concrete. Sound boring? Anything but! An adept storyteller, Rachel Grant interweaves scenario after scenario into a colorful fabric, the length of which, at times,appears endless. About mid book it seems like the story is coming to an end, and you wonder what the remaining pages are for ... perhaps excerpts from future books? Not so! The ... moreplot just keeps thickening. The confrontation that I literally dreaded thankfully never happened ... but the writer kept me on my toes in anticipation.If you haven't read any Rachel Grant books, this is a great introduction to a fine author.
review 2: Ostensibly romantic suspense, Concrete Evidence was stronger on plot and lighter on romance than most books in the genre, which made for a nice change. There's lots of fascinating information thrown into the book, from a strange kind of cement that expands as it sets to Native American history. I enjoyed both of our protagonists and most of the plot as well.I did find that the flow of the story was a bit jerky. Three-quarters of the way through, I felt like we'd reached the big climax from a character standpoint, and the author still spent a lot of pages wrapping up the other plot line. However, I was willing to overlook that due to the books' strengths in so many other departments. less
