Summary: This is my last by this author
Review: Coulter has always been a real hit and miss author for me, but I threw this book down in disgust and I'll never buy another of hers. I know she can write--I've read evidence of that. So there's no excuse but laziness to put out this...tripe. The characters are flat, the dialogue made me laugh out loud--it was so incredibly lame. She gives romantic suspense a bad bad name.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The FBI series...continued.
Review: This is the latest entry into Catherine Coulter's popular FBI series. In Eleventh Hour, Savich and Sherlock, the author's popular recurring FBI agents and married partners, take a back seat to fellow agent Dane Carver.

For Dane, this case is personal. He is guarding the only witness to his twin's shocking murder in a church confessional. His investigation of his brother's death, leads him to find that the killing is eerily similar to the latest episode of a new TV series. Somebody, connected to the show, is recreating the show's murders and Dane must find out who it is and keep his witness alive.

Complicating this case is the fact that the killer knows about the witness (Nick). There is also a convoluted sub plot dealing with Nick's own secret past.

Eleventh Hour is a good suspense mystery that revists favorite past characters. I read this book without having read most of Catherine Coulter's past FBI novels and felt that this book could stand alone. For fans already familiar with the series, I am sure it is a welcome reminder of the now married Sherlock/Savich.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disappointed
Review: There are inconsistencies in the plot, the characters are cardboard cut outs and the dialogue does not ring true constantly pulling the reader from the story. I will not say this was the worst book I've read, but it was close.
I will remember this authors name only to avoid her future work.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worse than I thought ...
Review: There were inconsistencies in the plot that I found really annoying, the characters had no real rapport -- I was really disappointed.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No depth
Review: I won't go into detail as it's been done very well by the previous critics. I will say that the author took a potentially interesting character in Nick Jones, the P.H.D. and made her very stupid. I couldn't wait to finish it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wasted potential
Review: This author is one that I have tried to remember to avoid, but from time to time I try her again. This story line could have been very effective, but I felt it feel far short. You have trained professionals from the FBI and a woman with a Ph.D engaging in dialogue that sounds like it was written by a teenager and inconsistencies in details that I found very annoying. If the target audience of this book was the under-21 crowd, I suppose it would be passable. I don't believe I will try this author again.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not up to Coulter's standards
Review: Having read many of Coulter's books, I would not recommend this one as a must read. The plot was actually pretty well devised. However, the dialogue was incredibly unrealistic and the characters were not at all well developed. The protagonists had no depth and that, in turn, had a negative effect on the plot. I expect more from Catherine Coulter.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Where is Catherine Coulter?
Review: I have read more than ten of her books. Absolutely loved the older ones. Fantastic. Tight plots, great dialog.The newer ones are increasingly disappointing. They don't even seem to be written by the same person. The dialog [stinks] and the characters are unbearably weak.

Who are the people writing good reviews for this book. They cut/ paste the plot lines and rave about the quality that just isn't there. Do they work for the publisher?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Lost Appeal
Review: I have read many and many of Catherine Coulter's books and have enjoyed them immensely. I have to say that this book was not what I had expected of her. It had a good plot with very few twists and a decent ending. The characters were very undeveloped and dialouge was not good. By the middle of the book I already knew who was behind both of the killings. It didn't explain enough about the crime scene or about the findings.

The romance and the mystery was left out. The characters didn't communicate that well and definetly no romance.

It is a decent book to read when nothing else is going on.

Rating: 5 stars
