Summary: Reads like a High School creative writing project
Review: I agree with the reviewer from Alexandria, VA. I'm amazed at the number of 5-star reviews this book garnered, since I could've written the dialogue from this book when I was a sophomore in high school. To give just one example (out of dozens of possibilities), when an agent on the CAU is caught leaking information to the press, her confrontation with her superior read more like a fight behind the bleachers during homecoming than anything you would expect from professionals. Would said agent really be simply reassigned? Wouldn't the superior have something a little more cutting to say about the lapse than the comebacks that were about as snappy as "Oh, yeah?"? I found myself rolling my eyes so often I'm surprised they didn't stick that way. In short, the plot had promise, but the immature writing brings this book down in quality to the point that it's hard to believe an author of Coulter's stature actually wrote it. (Is it possible she has a 15-year-old niece who's using her name?)

Summary: Thank you Sacramento, 12/2001
Review: I agree wholeheartedly with the reader from Sacramento. I like C.Coulter, but this book was horribly written! It left too many things hanging - what was the deal with Douglas and Lacey's mother? The lines were inane, to say the least! I'll stick to Ms. Coulter's historical romances! J in Erie, PA

Summary: Lacey and Dillon are a hit
Review: I was introduced to Dillon Savich in "The Cove" and liked how he solved crimes using MAX. When I found out that he had a book of his own, I was excited. What I really liked about this book is how Lacey and Dillon fell in love slowly. I also liked how Ms. Coulter gave details. I also found humor in this book, a rare thing. I thought her parents were hilarious. What I didn't like was there was hardly any actual romance going on. I also didn't like the backstory with Lacey and her sister, Belinda. What kind of sister does that to her sister. All in all, I really liked this book and looking forward to "The Target".

Summary: WOW!!! Catherine Coulter is awesome.
Review: Catherine Coulter does it again. What a enthralling book. Lacey Sherlock is driven to find the man who killed her sister. What better way to do that than to join the FBI. There she meets Dillon Savich who brings her into his computer forensic team. She is right where she needs to be in order to find out about the String Killer. During this time, Sherlock and Savich are becoming closer by working out together at the gym and working on the same cases. Finally, after seven years, the killer strikes again. She recognizes his m.o. immediately and rushes to Boston to capture him. Unfortunately, she does not tell Savich what she is doing and then the fun begins. He is furious that she has not told him of her past. After several days, he decides to let her pursue the case, but only with him as her partner. Many twists and turns follow to make you wonder if the string killer really did it.Was it the jealous husband? Was it her judgemental father? Her crazy mother? This book will keep you guessing until the end. Sherlock and Savich are a lot fun and their love story is wonderful. Also, if you read the first book in this series, The Cove, then look for James and Sally Quinlan.

Summary: the best of the FBI series
Review: Coulter gets high marks for this book. The instant chemistry between Savich and Sherlock is enough reason to read this book. However the suspense and danger surrounding the maze creates thrill and excitement. I had such a hard time putting this book down that I stayed up all night to read it. Coulter began the FBI series with The Cove, which was a good book, but the Maze is the definite front runner. The characters of Savich and Sherlock are so likeable that they make appearances in her following FBI series. I was actually disappointed that they were moved to secondary characters because these agents definitely deserve the spotlight. This is a definite buy, and you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Sherlock and Savich meet - ah what a team
Review: This is the story where Dillon and Sherlock first meet. If you have not read/listened to this one yet it is a must in the FBI series by Catherine Coulter. Lacy Sherlock has decided to become and FBI agent after a terrifying issue in her past makes her afraid to even go out of the house. She decided that if she does nothing else she will find the person who killed her sister and have vengeance. Enter Savich who Sherlock bests in one of their first meetings which intrigues him quite a bit. Then he requests her in his unit at the FBI. She finds this is the perfect opportunity to look for the string killer and at the first opportunity lies to Dillon and takes off for Boston to track him down. At the same time she has been doing well in the unit and helping to catch killers. Her sisters old husband also seems to be a bit to infatuated with her and this causes a lot of tension. As well as her dysfunctional family. I really enjoyed this story!

Summary: Embarrasingly Adolescent
Review: This embarrasingly adolescent book has absolutely no redeeming virtues, and I would recomend fans of the genre to look elsewhere: to James Patterson, Martin Cruz Smith, or Patricia Cornwell. Although the book is supposed to be set in Washington, DC, the city is unrecognizable. Compared to Patterson, who salts his Alex Cross books with details that reflect knowledge of and affection for the city, Coulter seems to have never visited DC, or even bothered looking at a map of the city. Worse, her characters are disconnected from the world the rest of us live in. One of the two main characters openly engages in what can only be called sexual harrassment towards the other main character, but the other characters watch this with approval, as does Coulter herself. Naming this new organization within the FBI the "Criminal Apprehension Unit" is another example of Coulter's laziness. What, exactly, does she think the rest of the FBI does, if not apprehend criminals? Another lazy shortcut is the "magic computer" that is the chief investigative asset of this "Criminal Apprehension Unit". While computers are indispensible to the modern investigator, Coulter doesn't bother including them in ways that make sense. She pays no attention to their real capabilities. In short, this book is terrible, with amateurish style, unbelievable characters, and a ridiculous plot. Don't waste your time.

Review: Kudos to Catherine Coulter! No doubt, this book is a keeper and a great reread time and time again. Personally, The Maze makes my all time favorite top 5 list and is Coulter's BEST WORK TO DATE!
