"This is the 2nd book I ever read by Stuart Woods, and in my opinion was his best. As he continued to write I read it all, and now the formulaic style of his books makes me skip them over in the new releases section at the library. I understand that he has to make a living and these write themselves, literally, but Palindrome shows the real talent. Don't let his current work keep you from checking this one out."
— Bryant (5 out of 5 stars)
“A fast-paced, multilevel tale of mystery and revenge.”
— Publishers Weekly“The novel’s first four chapters are outstanding, describing Elizabeth’s relationships with her husband and hotshot divorce lawyer, episodes which reveal her strength of mind and capture the reader’s loyalty and interest.”
— Library Journal" Couldn't put this one down. "
— John, 2/15/2014" My hands down, absolute favorite book by Stuart Woods. The way he intricately weaved the story around this family, creating a true palindrome with the tale, had me instantly hooked. "

— Ana, 2/7/2014" Nancy 5 stars; Ron no read (library book) "
— Ron, 1/16/2014" Somewhat unbelievable plot and characters, but not as bad as sci-fi. Action tempo kept pace up through end of book, without unrealistic physical shoot-ups. Too much evil infallible technique capability given to bad guy. Setting characters were stretched beyond psychological believability, and historical wealth, but did fit nicely as background and secondary story. "
— Joe, 1/14/2014" Liz Barwick, an abused wife, takes refuge from her husband on an Eden-like island (Cumberland Island off Georgia) and her life becomes intertwined with the owners (Drummonds). "
