"A surprisingly quick read even though it is a long book. A quick paced thriller that brings back Sherlock and Savitch while introducting the potential for another couple. I am hoping that the introduction of Eve and Harry brings about another series by Coulter. Another great book by this author."

" Sherlock and Savich books are always such a dependable read--fast paced, exciting and yet familiar. This one did not disappoint. "

" As always an excellent read by this author. The 16th novel in this FBI Thriller series was every bit as good as the rest of them. Coulter always takes you for a fun filled adventure with her agents. I'm looking forward to the next installment. "

— Laurie, 1/23/2014 -
" Latest in her FBI series; I appreciated the lack of supernatural/paranormal elements in the way this case played out, and while not being a great story from either suspense or romance angles, it was light fun. "
— Sarah, 1/22/2014 -
" No great shakes, but a nice continuation of the series. A fun, easy read. "
— Lorie, 1/20/2014 -
" I liked seeing the characters from The Target back in the story and Savitch and Sherlock in the forefront of the story. Most books in this series can be read out of order, but Target should be read before this one "

— Nancy, 1/14/2014 -
" The story was good and held my interest, but I found the writing style felt somewhat forced and unnatural in many places throughout the book. "

" A worthy addition to the series with Savich and Sherlock almost front and centre of all the action. Their 5yo Sean is just too cute! "
— Paraphrodite, 10/7/2013 -

" Another excellent book from Coulter with Agent Savich and Agent Sherlock. In this book, Judge Ramsey is shot and the plot revolves around figuring out who the shooter is and why. It's not who you think and there is some potential for some romance in her next book. "
— Barb, 10/10/2012 -
