review 1: As part of a series I do have to say that I did prefer the historical aspects of the first 2 books, although as a thriller this is still a good book in its own right. The main characters are still there in Sean Reilly and Tess Chaykin.The book starts off with historical flashbacks, but that is about it. The story really starts at a former DEA agent's house, where her boyfriend is gunned down by a gang of mystery assailants. After despatching one of the gang, stopping to only grab her son, she flees the house. Not knowing who to trust she reaches back into her past and contacts Reilly, who drops everything and rushes to her aid. Predictably the son is Reilly's, but that is only the start of his shocks.His past keeps on cropping up as if to taunt him.
review 2: T... morehe Devil’s Elixir delivers as promised in the suspense-thriller genre with little character development or sense of atmosphere. The rapidly shifting, multiple POV mixed with the first-person account of the protagonist makes for a jarring narrative at first, but the breakneck action scenes and brutal violence propel the plot forward at a frenetic pace to a satisfying conclusion. Great beach read! less
