Summary: Not one of her best
Review: This book seemed pretty choppy. There were two crimes going on that had nothing to do with the other and she kept throwing in comments that had no relevance to the story. I was glad when it was finished.

Summary: A New Coulter Reader Who Was Not Disappointed
Review: This is my first Catherine Coulter book. I generally read straight mysteries, but saw her FBI books appearing on mystery shelves. So, I thought I would give one a try. Reviewers seem to be all over the board on this book. Having nothing to judge it by, I would rate it somewhere in the middle. There were some loose ends, but I liked the characters a lot, especially the kids and Sheriff Katie Benedict; the action was faced-paced; and the main storyline was involving. Based on this book, I will certainly read the previous books in the series and will look forward to the next.

Summary: Not my favorite
Review: This volume of the Savich/Sherlock story was not up to it's usual tension and suspense. I felt from about half way in that I knew who the bad guy was, which was very off putting considering that Catherine Coulter usually is very good at leaving me in suspense and holding out until the very end who the bad guy really is.
It's an okay read, but over all the book was rushed and seemed as if some editor somewhere had hacked it to pieces. The ending also left me a little sick over the fate of the series.

Summary: good book but too long
Review: This was a good book but too long. The plot was confusing at times and the characters were kind of dull in some ways. I did not like the preacher guy. he just made me mad.

Summary: Fast-Paced Thriller
Review: Though well-know for her many historical novels, Ms. Coulter has engendered many fans with her contemporary Sherlock and Savich series. Married FBI agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich take somewhat of a back seat in this latest Coulter novel, but they play an important part, nevertheless. When friend and former FBI agent, Miles Kettering is devastated when his six-year-old son Sam is kidnapped, Sherlock and Savich are soon on the case, especially when Sam miraculously escapes the Tennessee cabin where he was hidden by his captors. Discovered running in the rain by local Sheriff Katie Benedict and her young daughter, Keely, Sam is quickly brought to safety in Katie's home where his father and Savich arrive soon after. But the suspense is far from over, as the kidnappers are relentless in their pursuit of Sam, despite the combined protection of several law enforcement agencies. Together, Katie, Miles, Savich, and Sherlock discover that one of the kidnappers has a sister living nearby, Elsbeth McCamy, the wife of the ultra-pious Reverend McCamy, pastor of the Sinful Children of God Church. While the good Reverend and his wife repeatedly deny any involvement in Sam's kidnapping, the coincidence of the close proximity of the kidnapper's cabin to his sister's home is too obvious to be ignored. Thrilling suspense continues with a bizarre twist when the purpose behind the kidnapping is finally revealed. With the ending packing another punch, true to Ms. Coulter's white knuckled novels, the read isn't over until the final page is written, as unbeknownst to lovers Miles and Katie; danger lurks around the next corner.

Summary: Blindside
Review: Well, I don't know what else I expected but she has done it again. This book was so good, I couln't put it down. I have the entire series in hardcover and will not part with them. This book was full of adventure just the way I like it. The love story was touching and you got very excited for the characters in it. You fell in love with the children and of course as always Dillon and Sherlock make you love them all over again.

Summary: Weak! Weak! Weak!
Review: What happened to the gripping plots that I usually associate with Catherine Coulter? What happened to rich characterization and page turning suspense? This effort falls short in a plainly weak attempt. The characterization is thin and the plot lacks the intrigue that makes thrillers thrilling. The female lead in this novel is supposed to be strong, but comes across as weak. The bimbo at the gym served no purpose at all, and why was Wade's quest for Karen's job hammered into us at every turn? The Sheriff should have the skill to at least shoot where she's aiming. It was insulting to every small Sheriff's office in the southeast by the way the deputies were portrayed as incompetent and completely fallible. I grew more disgruntled as I plowed through this 370-page noose. By the last page, I felt cheated by the whole experience. Your time would better be spent in an afternoon nap than in reading this WEAK thriller that lacks intrigue.

Summary: With All Due Respect to Ms. Coulter...
Review: With all due respect to Ms. Coulter, this book is a huge disappointment. The plot simply lacks even the smallest sense of credibility. The entire premise of the book is that a 6-year-old boy is kidnapped and taken to a small Tennessee town by fanatics, the child escapes, and the father keeps him within easy reach of the kidnappers despite repeated attempts to steal the boy by deranged psycopaths who will stop at nothing short of death to recapture him. All because the kid has bonded with a new friend and his father is worried about his emotional well-being if they are separated. Hello??? I would say that his physical well-being needs to come first and then his emotions can be tended to. If you can ignore this ludicrous attempt at plot justification and can get past the stilted prose that innundates the entire book, you *might* enjoy it...but I strongly recommend either borrowing it from the library or waiting for a cheap paperback at Sam's next year. Ms. Coulter is generally a talented, enjoyable writer. I look forward to her next book, which will hopefully see her back in true form.

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: Years ago, I loved all of Catherine Coulter's books, but after reading Blindside, I've decided from now on rather than pay for her books I'll wait until my local library has them.
The conversations in Blindside were so unbelievable - no one talks in such stilted sentences! The plot was thin and way out there. Save your money.
