Summary: Stong characters and plot drive latest Jane Whitfield
Review: Jane Whitfield, newly married, is drawn back into her old occupation through the intervention of her husband. The strength of the series is its character portrayals, and fast moving plots. Jane at times acts like a combination James Bond and Batman, but still retains a unique persona that is somewhat realistic in a fictional setting. The reader should be able to deduce the plot twists by reading between the lines, but the ending is nevertheless exciting.

Summary: Jane Whitefield is Back on the Job
Review: Native American (she's part Seneca) Jane Whitefield has stopped guiding people in danger to safe locations because of a promise she made her new husband Dr. Carey McKinnon. She'd spent the better part of a decade helping those in danger disappear and take on new lives, getting them new papers and teaching them how to stay hidden, now she's finished with that. Or is she?Now it's her husband of all people who wants her to get back in the saddle and take up her dangerous work once more. His mentor, a famous plastic surgeon, is close to making a medical break though, but he's wanted for a murder he didn't commit. While helping him Jane learns that a group of face-changers are using her name, techniques and underground reputation to prey on innocents in trouble and destroy their lives rather than save them. Jane has to unmask them and put them out of business before they harm anyone else. Reviewed by Vesta Irene

Summary: Great read - another great adventure for Jane Whitefield
Review: Once I started The Face-Changers I could not put it down. Jane Whitefield again has to use all her wits and intuition to help a friend and mentor of her husband,Carey. She shows compassion and yet is strong in using all her wits to help Dr. Richard Dahlman from being tried for a crime that he says he did not commit. Jane believes him and tries to understand how he came to be in this situation. There is action, supense - this book has it all. A great read but be prepared to sit to the end. It is that good.

Summary: Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding!!!!
Review: Please Mr. Perry don't let Jane retire, not yet. I can't get enough. I became a fan when I just happened upon "Vanishing Act" the first Jane Whitefield novel. I quickly read and then went in search of anything else I could get my hands on. I was lucky enough to read Dance of the Dead and Shadow Woman in quick succession. Then I had to wait several months for "The Face Changers". Most books leave you feeling "tired of them" after you've read about the same character, but Thomas Perry is a master at giving you just enough to make you want more and more. I am now in search of all of his early works - again, please Mr. Perry don't stop now. Thank you, thank you.

Summary: Jane is the best..so is Thomas Perry
Review: The skill and mastery of Perry's writing keeps this series fresh. He allows his charaters to really grow and change, to age gently or harshly, or to die. He has made these characters, particularly Jane, real, perfectly drawn, compelling to "watch." I hope that Perry continues to write about these characters. However, if he decides to retire Jane, I recommend his other works for their gritty, dark and very real characters and conflicts.

Summary: Not So Good...Doubting Thomas this time
Review: There was no chemistry at all in this fourth J.W. series. The first several chapters were so pretentious, rigid, awkward, reluctant and tasteless. There was no way you could believe Jane loved her doctor husband, because you failed to find any intimacy between this couple's conversation that even non-exist between doctor and his patients in a real life. It read more like a writer who never married and could not imagine a natural and normal way how a couple should and would talk to each other. The dialogues were terrible, I mean, not just the husband/wife part, almost all the conversations in the whole book were so rigid and out of picture, besides the dragging unnecessary long narrative lines in between. I've read every former book written by this great writer, not only enjoyed it but collected all of them. This time, to this particular could-hardly-wait new book, regretfully turned out to be a pain-in-the-neck to read along. I have to leapfrog and kept flipping the pag! es forward or backward, trying very hard to get something interesting to get myself hooked up but unsuccessfully until the end. What went wrong? No chemistry, man, no sparkles anymore like before, man. What a shame....

Summary: unique heroine pulls the story along
Review: This is the first book I have read by Thomas Perry. While the dialog was somewhat rigid, I enjoyed Jane Whitefield's thought processes and her dream flashbacks to her indian heritage. The husband-wife relationship did not feel right. It was too clinical and didn't "hurt" enough. This book was enjoyable, however, and I plan to read his other books.

Summary: Too Much Filler
Review: This was a good story, but it was fleshed out with too much tedious detail. I've enjoyed all of the Jane Whitefield novels and this was no exception, but it was not my favorite.
