"Enjoyable mystery, high-stakes suspense, and international intrigue kept me hooked even through a few slow spots. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the people and landscape of Israel."
— Ericka (4 out of 5 stars)
“Faye Kellerman does not let us down.”
— Omaha World Herald“Fans will be thrilled…Kellerman has combined fine writing, spirited characters, and a suspenseful, original plot; has woven in enlightening facts and anecdotes about modern Judaism; has added heartwarming glimpses of Jewish family life; and has capped it all with a stunning climax.”
— Booklist" I loved this entry into the series. I couldn't stop turning pages! "
— Darlene, 2/19/2014" Very good read. This is really shaping up to a very good series. "
— Pauline, 2/11/2014" Listened to this on audio book while driving this weekend. Good one! Thanks for the loan Lyn :) "
— Storey, 2/7/2014" Its an ok read so far. "
— Bob, 1/29/2014" The story line was okay but I had a hard time following sections that tried to get to Jewish Law and terms. This in my opinion detracted from the story line. I will not be reading more books by Faye Kellerman. "
— Dennis, 1/24/2014" This one kept me guessing untill the very last page. I loved the ending. "
— Kelly, 1/16/2014" I enjoy every book by Faye Kellerman. This one was intriguing! "
— Jane, 1/10/2014" This one is about an old friend of Rina's who brings her four children for a visit, then disappears. I enjoy getting a glimpse of the Jewish culture. I would imagine Jewish readers would enjoy this series especially. "
— Kathryn, 1/7/2014" Wow! The author sure did her homework on this one. I love all of the characters. I was involved in the story from page one. "
— Susan, 12/29/2013" Another Grand Slam by Faye Kellerman, that I hope continues throughout the series, and never shows the fatigue that sometimes plagues long-running series. "
— Rory, 12/24/2013" Diamond thefts and some exciting chases through Israel. "
— Linda, 12/11/2013" This was OK, I felt that I missed out by not having read any of the previous books. The descriptions of jewish culture were interesting but also irritating as I didn't know what a lot of the words meant and they often didn't explain - I guess if you were American you'd know. "
— Jo, 12/9/2013" A very good Rina/Pete Lazarus detective novel in which the couple travels to Israel to solve two mysteries. "
— Katie, 10/4/2013" I think this book was my favorite in the whole series so far. A good mix of religious knowledge, connection to Rina dn her family/community AND a good detective story. "
— Kristin, 9/20/2013" Great story, very informative too. "
— Debbie, 9/1/2013" Still keeping up the high standard of this series. "
— David, 3/21/2013" Have most of this series by Faye Kellerman and they are very good. "
— Georgia, 2/17/2013" One of m favorite Rina and Peter Decker books that takes Peter into the secret Hasidic world of diamond trading and eventually to Israel. Lots of suspense. "
— Cathy, 1/4/2013" so far this is an okay read. It's one I can put down and do other things, then pick up to pass the time. "
— Pam, 11/30/2012" The first Faye Kellerman & Peter Decker book I read! I loved it! "
— Jessica, 10/26/2012" Diamonds and international terrorism. Informative (a bonus) and a good read, although I was ready for it to be over at the end. "
— Kaye, 10/13/2012" I enjoyed Ms Kellerman writing about Israel and its side streets. This book I enjoyed the least of the three that I have read. The chief letting the detective go to Israel and taking his wife is just a little too much for me to believe. I did enjoy learning some facts about the diamond business. "
— David, 4/11/2012" Interesting topic- diamonds and terrorism. I did find it good on detail but a little tedious to read. "
— Linda, 3/14/2012" Another great book in the series. I liked the 2 singular stories @ the beginning that then overlapped. "
— Liza, 2/15/2012" This one took me a while to read, really good just I'm kinda slacking on my reading... Now I move on to Justice... "
