"Great story, fast moving, suspense and mystery. The villian, aka terrorist, is in some strange way actually likable. There were times when I felt he was not going to be captured; mostly because he was broken out of a maximum security prison where he was serving a life sentence. I was seeing a sequel because he was so good at his job."

— Providence Journal on VANISHEDIf Jack Reacher met Nick Heller in a dark alley, my money's on Reacher. But it would be ugly. Or would it? Actually, I think they'd go for a beer together and set the world to rights--because Joseph Finder has given me a terrific new hero to root for. This is an action-packed, full-throttle, buy-it-today-read-it-tonight series that you definitely shouldn't miss.

— Library Journal (starred review) on VANISHED" i liked this book maybe not as much as others by this author but in my estimation it was still worth three stars. a good plot twists and turns and i think good characters. it just seems to lack something but it is still a book that i would recomend.. "
— Peter, 2/16/2014" This is a suspenseful story, but I felt like technology (and overly described aspects of technology) held up the pace of what could have been a more engaging thriller. The book was written in the late-90's, and the discussion about the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 was interesting. "
— Ray, 1/16/2014" I liked the story but the way it was written didn't suck me in like some of the better books I've read, including more recent ones by Finder. The backdrop to the story is a terror plot aimed at crippling Wall Street, physically with a bomb and cyber-wise by wreaking havoc with computer system at the hub for global transfer of funds. About halfway through the pace picks up, it was just a struggle for me to get to that point. "
— Doug, 1/8/2014" I really like this author. The book is a little dated, but still excellent. A thriller. "
— Jeff, 12/23/2013" This one required some thinking but wasn't beyond my ability to stick with it even when only hoping for some escapist pleasure. Good read. "
— Dianne, 12/21/2013" Although I love Joseph Finder's books, I think that reading this so long after the publication date really hindered my enjoyment of it. This book was written well before 9/11 and seemed very dated. However this will not stop me from buying any of Mr. Finder's future efforts. "
— Alison, 11/22/2013" My first time reading a Finder book. Some predictability to it. Enjoyed a few a of characters but you don't really get to know them enough to care about them. Will give his writing another try. "
— Greg, 11/19/2013" In the context of post 9-11 America this novel is extremely interesting and also with respect to the recent outcry against wall street. "
— Alex, 11/18/2013" The FBI chases after an international terrorist planning a threat in New York City. "
— Steve, 10/15/2013" This was a really good book. The story was detailed and kept you interested. Enjoyed reading it. "
— Dale, 12/20/2012" First book I've read by him...will try another ~ good FBI characters, etc. "
— Johnna, 11/10/2012" Finder disappointed his fans with this one. I expected a better one. This book deserves 2.5 stars since it has a very good pace but lacks twists and Finder's brilliance. "
— Bhuvanesh, 9/10/2012" Another 4 1/2 stars. This is good stuff! "
— Celestina, 7/16/2012" Almost a Nelson DeMille style novel. I am about a third of the way into the book, good one! "
— Skrett, 4/20/2012" This was the first novel I read from Joseph Finder. Just like his other books, it was well written and full of suspense. "
— Russell, 3/15/2012" I love Finder's books and somehow missed this one way back when. It was a little too technical and descriptive for me, and I think his later books are less so. But it was a good and exciting story. "
— JoAnn/QuAppelle, 11/12/2011" The person who recommended it said it was a suspense novel. Half way through the novel I was still waiting for the suspense to start. Actually I was still waiting for the story to really get going. Kind of a snoozer. "
— Lablover, 1/6/2011" This was the first novel I read from Joseph Finder. Just like his other books, it was well written and full of suspense. "
— Russell, 12/27/2010" Another 4 1/2 stars. This is good stuff! "
— Celestina, 8/2/2010" The FBI chases after an international terrorist planning a threat in New York City. "
— Steve, 6/9/2010" Almost a Nelson DeMille style novel. I am about a third of the way into the book, good one! "
— Skrett, 1/31/2009" This one required some thinking but wasn't beyond my ability to stick with it even when only hoping for some escapist pleasure. Good read. "
