What a fantastic sequel to Fatal Demand!  When I received both of these books from the authors in exchange for an honest review, I had no idea that I would be so captivated.  From the minute I started into Jess's visit to the prison in Fatal Demand (part one of this thriller), to her confrontation with the murderer in Italy in Fatal Error (part two), I couldn't stop reading until I found out what was going to happen next.  The interaction with the FBI agents and  her obsession to move forward with her quest to save the life of the son of an elderly couple, even when it puts her at odds with law enforcement in both the U.S. and in Italy is fascinating.  Jess is simply driven and nothing will stop her until she succeeds.  I recommend that if you start these books that you set aside time to enjoy a two-part thrilling adventure with likeable heroes and really bad villains.

This is my third Laukkanen book (wish I knew how to pronounce his name). My mom and I have read The Professionals and Criminal Enterprise and were looking forward to this one. We were not disappointed. Laukkanen is a terrific writer and kept us turning the pages and not wanting it to end - a rare occurrence. The plot, as in the first two books, is made even more interesting by combining Stevens with Windermere - the Minnesota State cop and the FBI "supercop." The tension - or attraction to each other - keeps the story crackling. I highl recommend all of Owen's books if you like adventure/mystery books as good or better than Lescroat, Connelly, and Baldacci!

Well,Andrew Hessel continues the great thriller in this third book.  Great characters, exciting storyline and I can't wait for more.  I guarantee that you won't be disapointed.  You have to read this book and the other two books in the Cups Drayton Series.

Coyote Series (Coyote, #1-3)by Dianne Harman is a box set I just had to have. This series of sharp thrillers is a joy to read and each book just keeps on getting better. The characters are well fleshed out, the plot thickens with each glorious chapter and leaves the reader wanting more.
If you like your thrillers way outside the box with mad scientist, terrified wife, runaway wife meets mysterious stranger and a cracking courtroom drama full of suspense, then I recommend you download this awesome treat right now. You won't be disappointed.
Deserved FIVE STAR thriller series and very highly recommended.

"Darkness on the Edge of Town" is a fantastic thriller that is extremely well researched, well written and definitely leaves you wanting more. There are so many plot twist that I found the book hard to put down. The characters are three dimensional and I could definitely identify with the heroine Laura Cardinal and her life.
The author did an amazing job handling a distasteful subject (child porn and a serial child murderer) with incredible taste and sensibility.
Fortunately I already have book 2 & 3 of this series waiting on my Kindle!

I received an advanced copy from net galley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a fantastic thriller and so relevant for the world today. After mistakenly shooting a robber, Detective Vega has to face the consequences of his actions. The issue of race is also a strong theme in this story. Detective Vega is also trying to solve his mother's murder. the author blends these story lines seamlessly. This is a mystery that will keep you reading into the night. Finished it in two settings! Highly recommend!

This was the same exciting thriller with twists and turns right up to the end as I had read in previous books, The Target and the Hit. The books are hard-hitting and thought-provoking. I was glad to go back and find out how his relationship with recurring characters began. The third book, The Target is my favorite of the three Will Robie books because of the up to date information on North Korea. Great writing from a master storyteller. I looked forward to more like these.

A terrific conspiracy thriller with characters who are both three-dimensional and likeable, a fast pace and enough action, intrigue and suspense to keep the pages turning rather rapidly.

There's definitely that something extra that authors who are ex-military manage to  incorporate into both the action sequences and the environment in which their protagonists are placed that produces a much more realistic feel that ensures a thoroughly enthralling read as an outcome.  This author most certainly achieved that potential.

Liam Saville is now firmly entrenched on my favourites list. Here's hoping that there will be many more stories featuring Sam Ryan still to come.

Highly recommended

Although I found that this book didn't move with as much non-stop action as the first two in the series, it was still a gripping thriller.  Child's portrayal of villains is so believable that it can scare the pants off you.  Not only that he writes with such intesnsity, that the story just grips the reader until the end.  His portrayal of Jack Reacher is insightful and believable as well.  Reacher is a true drifter with uncommon talents which he has picked up in his previous life as an MP in the US Army.  He's big and brawny, and extremely quick-thinking.  In this book he is pitted against a villain that's just about as evil as they get, and he almost loses his life in the process of trying to protect someone who is very dear to him.  This is a solid thriller, with enough action to keep the reader gong well into the night.

ve been a fan of Lisa Scottoline for a while so when the opportunity to read an about to be published book of hers came up I of course jumped on it and my fandom paid off as she has created yet another fantastic thriller.

I loved her plotline because at first you feel smug thinking you know exactly where Scottoline is going and what kind of character she wrote in Chris Brennan. You even have the Facebook status ready to post how you're so much smarter than the author but let me save you the embarrassment and stop you before you hit Send. YOU ARE WRONG! There will come a point where the metaphorical car shes been driving you on will take a wild turn nearly off a cliff that you won't see coming. Now you're on that steep descent of an emotional rollercoaster Scottoline so loves to strap her readers in for.

Carve some time out to read this because you will come to a point where nothing else in your life matters until you find out the ending. Thankfully shes quite adept at this point in her career at character development, intriguing plot lines, thought provoking messages wrapped in subtlety and action packed scenes so you won't be disappointed.

I read this book almost twice as fast as the other ones. It exceeded my expectations. I almost had trouble stoping reading it. I wanted fantastic, it gve me fantastic. I wanted a thriler, it gave me a thriller. I wanted suspense it gave me twice as I expected. I couldn't wait to see the next (sadly last) one in the saga. After the end, I was surprised how much time it took me: 1 hour and 30 minutes! However, this is the first one I recommend to read last, or it would spoil the first three. Definitely worth the time.

Another terrific crime thriller from Geoffrey West.

'Sheer Fear' sees the welcome return of Jack Lockwood - the principal protagonist of the author's previous two books 'Rock 'n' Roll Suicide' and 'Doppelganger'. if you have read either of these books you will recognise the character immediately, and before long you'll be willing him to succeed in his crime-solving endeavours. Having said that you don't need to read either of the previous two books to enjoy this one - each of the three can stand alone, without assuming the reader's knowledge of what went before.

The book starts with a cracking good opening chapter which hooks you immediately - and the pace never slows right through to the last page. Furthermore, almost every chapter ends with a cliff hanger which keeps you reading 'just one more chapter'.

This is not a dark, gritty type of crime drama, but more a fast-moving, action-packed yarn - and a thoroughly good one at that. If you're a fan of this genre, you're sure to enjoy 'Sheer Fear'.

Fast-paced, gripping thrillers with villains you'll love to hate, dramatic twists & turns and unanticipated endings that made for great reads! Author wrote each book with rather short chapters meaning I'd keep pushing myself to read just a little bit more each evening so as to reach the exciting conclusion only to result in some sleep-deprived workdays (I'd keep telling myself to wait until the weekend to start one of these books but I couldn't help myself). Crime series does have some gore and violence (as to be expected) but I'd definitely give them the thumbs up, and by buying them in a bundle you'll also save yourself the price of one book rather than by purchasing all three separately. Very good books and I did enjoy!

Superb Romantic Thriller! This is the best Kate James yet and I'm glad to know there is another K-9 novel in the offing.  Ariana Atkins is the epitome of what a suspense thriller heroine should be. She is smart, often brilliant, commanding and conscientious. Her chemistry with Logan is believable even in the midst of her life being in danger and bombs exploding in her airport where she's head of security. Too often romances in high-stakes stories are contrived to the point of silly. This one is extremely well written and the characters' dialogue and actions are so intense and on-target, I could not put the book down. I literally gripped the pages as I turned them. I highly recommend the entire K-9 series by Ms. James.

This is a fantastic, fast-paced thriller from Louisa Luna. The book starts off with a terrifying scene that most parents would relate as their worst nightmare. From here the plot unfolds into a masterfully crafted story with many twists and turns and dead end leads, leading up to a sick and twisted conclusion that will keep you guessing as you frantically turn the pages.

There is great character development for the main players combined with an excellent display of police procedures. The plot becomes more complex and multi-layered as it unfolds. The tension is high throughout the book. Suddenly Caplan and Vega find themselves entrenched in a series of investigations that they have to work diligently to discover how they all fit together. Once all the puzzle pieces fit together, they are in a race against time to track down the people behind the kidnapping.

Caplan and Vega are a good team, and their individual stories make the overall story more interesting. They complement each other nicely. Caplan's daughter is also a great addition to the storyline. She is wise beyond her years, and their relationship is awesome. She keeps Caplan grounded and serves as his sounding board when he needs another opinion. Vega seems a lot like a female version of Jack Reacher. She is determined to get the job done no matter the cost. No frills, no fluff - just do the job and get it done. Together they are relentless in their search for the missing girls. I think Luna could start a series with these two that would attract a good following.

I would recommend this book to fans of thrillers and suspense. I received this as a free ARC from Doubleday Books on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have to thank a friend for turning me on to M.R. Sellers books. Harm None is a fantastic psychological thriller with a Wiccan twist. Sellers' characters and story are so believable you have to remind yourself you're reading fiction.
  Join Rowan Gant a Computer tech. who works from home, as he discovers his gift of being able to see the last moments of Homicide victims lives, and helping his friend, Detective Ben Storm, (a full blood Native American) track down their killer. Sit at the edge of your seat as they try and catch him before he has a chance to slay his next victim.
  I'm looking forward to catching up with the rest of the "Ghoul Squad" junkies and get to the ninth book in this series, Blood Moon,  before the tenth one comes out in May of 2010!
  My advice to you, if you love a great page turner murder mystery, is pick up the first three in this series,
Harm None, Never Burn A Witch, and Perfect Trust, you'll thank me later.
