Summary: Keeps your attention
Review: This is definitely a typical Iris book, great action, a little far fetched, but nothing absolutely stupid. She did jump a little too much in the final chapters, leaving characters practically mid-sentence, and then picking them up again after the climax of the scene. I didn't like that ploy, but I did really enjoy the book overall. It's a good light read, with enough action to keep your attention.

Summary: Mediocre and amateurish
Review: This is the first and last Iris Johansen I'll read. I was expecting better. The plot is just silly and the dialogue is amateurish. This book reads as if it were written by an untalented high schooler for English class. Save your money, and read something by Janet Evanovich, Dorothy Gilman, Lee Child, Nelson Demille, or Dick Francis instead.

Summary: Fuhgeddabaudit!!
Review: This was a very disappointing book. So much so, that I will probably never purchase another by this author. The plot drifts - the ending is virtually non-existent. The book conveniently skips over what could have been considered the climax of the plot. Instead, a chapter ends - and the ending begins --- saves so much time in actually developing a plot! Use words like --- Feelings! What am I thinking!? I can't feel that! ---- good grief! thin, thin, thin.....lazy lazy lazy...too bad the author is resting on her laurels - easy money, terrible product.

Summary: Johansen is at the Top of her Game with this One
Review: Tough photojournalist Alex Graham has seen it all, but always through the lens. She's never been part of the story before, but now she is the story. She's in Colorado, shooting images of the collapse of the dam at Arapahoe Junction, when she inadvertently discovers the castatraphe wasn't an act of nature, but planned by some very bad guysThe bad guys try to kill her, wound her friend Sarah (who we've come to know and love from past Johansen books) and now she can't just look at this story from the outside. John Logan (Sarah's husband) hires top notch commando Judd Morgan to protect her. Okay, we can expect Alex and Judd to fall for each other, because it is an Iris Johansen book, after all, but the interplay between them only adds to the story. This five star book is a thriller of the first order, one you don't want to miss. I simply loved it. Review submitted by Captain Katie Osborne.

Summary: A Real Ludlum Like Thriller
Review: When photojournalist Alex Graham stumbles onto the fact that a disaster was man made and not natural, she's immediately in danger, as those culpable want to silence her. John Logan enlists super commando Judd Morgan to protect her, though Alex just may be strong enough not to need the protecting. Johansen has tried in the past to pull off a real Robert Ludlum type of my book, and in my opinion came very close with "No One to Trust," but she's come up aces in this five star thriller. There is enough in "Dead Aim" to keep any James Bond fan ripping through the pages. This far-fetched plot has the ring of truth to it all the way through the book. "Dead Aim" is as my daddy used to say, a real "readable book." Reviewed by Vesta Irene

Summary: A mystery/romance with humor...
Review: Who could ask for anything more? Iris Johansen really delivers in this book. Photojournalist Alex is caught in a web of lies and intrigue when there is an assassination plot against the president of the United States. Judd Morgan is hired to protect her. They dislike eachother but are drawn to one another. They share witty remarks and a whole lot of passion. They come to trust one another despite themselves and fall in love. The ending leaves us satisfied but wanting more. I definitely recommend it.

Summary: Why am I not surprised? Clear as mud
Review: Why am I not surprised? Ms.Johansen confirms what I knew, my female collegues don't know how to truly write suspense. The golden retriever Monty is mentioned in connection with the search-and-rescue-team, but the main figure is a two legged friend Alex, the photographerix. She has guts, foul language and braves a lot of adversities coming from the Homeland Security Team, FBI, CIA etc. Why? Good question. They like to blow up dams and mines and the President, and of course Alex is opposed to that and is therefore on the wanted list. Makes sense? The whole story is clear as mud. Best you make a list of all the players at the start, because there are plenty and sometimes you meet them by their first name and sometimes by their last. Who is who? You go back and forth. See for yourself.
