Summary: disappointing...
Review: I've been a fan of C. Coulter since I read "The Cove", but her last two books including this one have been so disappointing. It's almost like she's changed her writing style. I say, 'if it aint broke don't fix it'. This book was so inconsistent, moving quickly one moment, then slowing to a crawl the next.
There is no romance really to speak of, just a slight attraction with an abrupt sex scene thrown in, that seemed forced & gratuitous.
If you haven't read her earlier books, skip this one, and get "The Cove" & "The Maze".

Summary: My first "Coulter" novel was ahit
Review: This is my first Coulter book and I was impressed with the story and how each character played out. I will purchase more Coulter books based on this one.
From a murdered priest to sleezy L.A. Hollywood types to corrupt politicians. I felt this book had it all and is a good read for all who like suspense and a good thrill ride.
The book was slightly predictable but indeed a pleasant read

Summary: Slow and Boring!
Review: I usually love all Catherine Coulter's books but not this one. I kept coming up with excuses to put it down. It was slow moving not at all what one expects from this talented author. I may try reading the next new book that she writes but I won't spend the money on a hardbound book. I'll wait for the paperback and see if she can redeem herself. Read this book only if you don't have another book in your home and prepare yourself to be bored silly!

Summary: Not Her Best
Review: I LOVE Catherine Coulter, but this book left me cold. The "mystery" was very predictible and the main characters wooden. I was especially put off by the dialogue; it just did not seem to fit the context or the characters. I'm sure I will continue to read Catherine Coulter - when she's on, she is one of the best of the genre. This, sadly, was not one of her better efforts.

Summary: Bitterly Disappointed
Review: I am an avid fan of ALL Catherine Coulter's books but found to my utter dismay this one to be a total waste of my time. From the first, I found the dialog stilted, the story line choppy and disjointed, as if the author was writing a screen play for a movie. This apparently seems to be her goal as indicated by her dedication of the book. The book showed none of her usual depth of character detail or gripping storyline. My request to the author is when writing the book, focus on the book, not how it would appear on the screen.

Summary: Enthralling Suspense
Review: Readers familiar with Ms. Coulter's FBI couple, Savich and Sherlock, will be pleased, as the husband and wife team makes a reappearance in this cleverly scripted novel. When Father Michael Joseph is found murdered at his confessional in San Francisco, his identical twin brother, FBI agent Dane Carver, wants some answers. With the help of a homeless woman, Nick Jones, and Inspector Delion, of the San Francisco P.D., Dane searches for a killer, who, apparently confessed his murderous sins to the deceased priest. When Nick discovers that the killer is parroting a television show, THE CONSULTANT, the Feds entangle themselves in the investigation, complete with car chases and nerdy TV. studio execs. The complexity of this read is enhanced by the underlying mystery surrounding the true identity of Nick Jones, the well-spoken "homeless" woman who is obviously running away from someone or something. Is she a target because she witnessed Father Michael Joseph's murder or because the someone she is running from is out to kill her? Dane seeks answers as he keeps Nick by his side, and sparks fly between the two. Dual compelling mysteries enhance the anticipation in this creative version of a who-done -it. The slight disappointment near the novel's conclusion occurs with the completely separate resolution of the two intertwined tales. Fans of Ms. Coulter's Savich and Sherlock series will be captivated, and readers new to this series will likely be intrigued as well...

Summary: sadly, not too thrilling
Review: I was very disappointed in this new book by Catherine Coulter. It was overly long and I like long if there is a good story. The mystery wasn't much of a mystery. But my biggest complaint is that the characters were so cardboard. What happened to the way she used to write when you cared about the characters. These FBI couples are totally unrealistic and not interesting. I think this will probably be my last Catherine Coulter book. I haven't really enjoyed any of her books in quite a while.

Summary: Coulter's best book yet!
Review: Father Michael Joseph had heard many confessions but none like the one he heard from a madman bragging about murdering two people. Within minutes of the twisted confession, Father Michael Joseph is lying on the ground with a bullet in his head. Nicola "Nick" Jones is a homeless woman running from her past, and as bad luck would have it she was in the church the night Father Michael Joseph was killed. Nick was hiding in the shadows so she is sure the killer didn't see her, but fear has kept her from coming forward, until now. Dane Carver is the identical twin to Father Michael, he is also an FBI agent, so he teams with fellow agents and friends Savich and Sherlock, to track down the killer. Dane's search will take him through the seedy streets of San Francisco, to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, and with the help of the homeless woman Nick Jones he may bring a madman to justice, if Nick's past doesn't catch up to them first. 'Eleventh Hour' is another action-packed thriller by an author who gets better with each new novel. Starting off fast, the pages practically turn themselves as the reader uncovers each clue in this intricately plotted thriller. Savich and Sherlock are familiar faces that readers will welcome back, and the juggling of plots concerning Nick Jones and Dane Carver keeps readers on the edge of their seat awaiting the next surprise. Catherine Coulter is a master of plotting; her novels are always original, well-written, peopled with interesting characters, and super fast-paced. With each new novel Ms. Coulter surpasses her previous work, proving she is at the top of her craft, and she can only get better. This MUST read is headed for the top of the best-seller list's.

Summary: exciting, enthralling and totally mesmerizing thriller
Review: It's midnight in San Francisco and Father Michael Joseph is in his church to hear confession from a man who killed twice and intends to go on killing. Father Michael plans to inform the police because he feels the killer is not truly repentant, but only confessing to brag about his murders. When the culprit realizes what the priest intends to do, he kills Father Michael, not realizing there was a witness in the church who saw what happened. FBI special Agent Dane Carver flies to San Francisco to find out what the police know about the killing of his identical twin. While there he meets the witness Nick Jones, a woman posing as a homeless person because she fears somebody is trying to kill her. Dane sticks to Nick like she is the magnet and he is steel. The case takes a bizarre twist. The killer has patterned the murders out of the episodes of a new television program so they reason he must be somebody connected to the show, a wild bunch of characters capable of anything. Readers of Catherine Coulter's suspense thrillers will be pleased to know that FBI agents Savitch and Sherlock play a key role in the ELEVENTH HOUR. The story line is vintage Coulter: exciting, enthralling and totally mesmerizing. The burgeoning relationship between Dane and Nick is cleverly interwoven into the fast paced and utterly absorbing plot. This novel is heading straight for the New York Times bestseller list.

Summary: Absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!
Review: The dialogue in this amateurish attempt at a crime thriller is laughable. The characters are flat, the plot predictable, and the dialogue is perfectly tedious. Ms. Coulter's expertise is in historical romance, not in this genre. I would like to ask for my money back on this (audio edition) because it was so horrible. If you want to roll your eyes a lot, check it out from the library. Save your money.
