Rating:  Summary: Couldn't put it down, didn't want it to be over... Review: What a wild ride. Stephen White's familiar cast is here, but feel free to jump right in even if you've never meet the regular crew. Be warned, though, that you will NOT want to interrupt reading to eat, to sleep, to do anything other than continue along the twisted trail of plot White has masterfully laid out. As usual in White's books, the characters and their foibles seem fully real and the settings are scarily believable. What happens makes sense, even though the reader may quibble a bit with how the plot resolves. A fully engaging, highly enjoyable roller coaster of a read.
Rating:  Summary: Not Good Review: Would an FBI agent really act this way? If they did, would we want them in the FBI? Improbable plot, ridiculous characters, not one of his best. Why do so many of Stephen White's females characters have physical problems?
Rating:  Summary: Where the Heck have I been??? Review: Wow! This was my first Stephen White read, although I have Priviledged Conversation, as yet unread, in my library. I never would have guessed this was a "series" as I never felt like I was missing part of the story I should have already known; important for first-time readers. This was a great read. I often found myself thinking "OK, what's this guy up to?". I found myself laughing one minute and saying "Oh My GOD!" a few pages later. It's not perfect but for mystery/detective/cop story fans its a darn good read. Priviledged Conversation will be my next read as will all the ones inbetween.
