Summary: More than Simply an Adventure, a Story of Values & Trust
Review: An excellent, fast paced reading experience with fully drawn characters who have to make tough choices. This book also delivers a healthy dose
of history about the culture of the American Indian
and what remains of a caring and vital people who
are willing to sacrifice themselves for the good
of others. There are some improbable happenings
here, but life is full of improbabilities. This
series of books has a heroine as its major figure
and she is a woman of courage and character.
Thomas Perry's other books (Butcher Boy, Mad Dogs)
are entertaining crime dramas, but don't have
the moral compass that is central to this series.

Summary: Thomas Perry's usual FANTASTIC "Cliff Hanger" writing.
Review: I am always intrigued by Thomas Perry's "Jane Whitefield" novels. "Shadow Woman", as with other "Whitefield" novels, never ceases to amaze me with the "training to survive" she provides to her clients. This particular novel was somewhat different in that she also became the "prey" as opposed to simply the "protector for the hunted". I have read, and thoroughly enjoyed all of Thomas Perry's "Jane Whitefield" novels. I am looking forward to reading "The Face Changers". Keep up the "intriguing writings" Thamas Perry.

Summary: It's a run-away freight train ending, you'll love it.
Review: I didn't think this book was quite as good as the previous Jane Whitefield novels. In the beginning of this story, Jane's heart wasn't really into helping her client disappear and my heart wasn't into reading about it. I found myself skimming pages looking for action. I found it hard to believe Jane would give up her exciting life as a guide to get married and settle down to a "normal" life. In the book preceding this one, I had been rooting for Jane and Carey to get together. But their romance in this story seemed flat and lackluster. The pace did pick up toward the end of the book and the conclusion was worth waiting for.

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: I enjoyed the first two books in the Jane Whitefield series, but this, the third, was even better. Jane has helped a client "disappear" and now she thinks she's going to stop helping people get away and settle down with her new husband. But the client, Pete, is being hunted by some very clever, very persistent bad guys, and Jane finds herself having to help him elude them yet again. Meanwhile, someone is trying to find Jane by getting to know her husband . . . It's a good book and Jane is a very likeable heroine. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Excellent dream imagery
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It is the first one in the series that I have read. I am going to purchase the previous Whitefield books to catch up. I also Recommend Virginia Lanier's Bloodhound books. Very strong female protagonist.

Summary: Love at first fight
Review: In the first few pages, Jane disables a very large bad guy in an elevator. He grabs her ankle as she exits (He's 'lying down.'). She says to him, "Think about it. Do you really want me alone with you in that elevator?" He lets go. I'm in love. Nobody outsmarts, outfights, or outlasts bad guys like Seneca adventurer Jane Whitefield. The first three books in Perry's wonderful series--Vanishing Act, Dance for the Dead, and this one--are the only books that can stand comparison to Tony Hillerman's "Navajo mysteries." And in some ways, Perry is the better writer. Don't miss these books.
