" Another highly entertaining political thriller featuring my favorite regular guy character Joe DeMarco. While the plot did go a bit over the top the writing and the characters were top notch and the narration by Joe Barrett was much improved from the previous book. "

" The story was pretty good with an evil politician as the villain. The hero investigator was practical and driven to do the right thing. The ending dragged on a bit and the killing of the villain was over the top. "

" An escapist read of former spies and morally bankrupt politicians behaving badly. Joe is a bit hapless and I'd like to see his character develop a bit more (we're in the fourth book already) and the plot is a bit obvious, but escapist doesn't have to be perfect on the page. Love the Emma character! "

" Not sure why, but this one was better than the prior three. Maybe because DeMarco had so little help or because the reader was exposed to he nuances of his character and The Speaker in this one. I'm gonna read all of th as soon as they are in paperback. "

" The cover blurb said if the reader liked Lee Child, we would like this. I don't agree, it's not a patch on the Jack Reacher books, but then, not many books of this thriller genre are. "
