Summary: Not a very suspenseful or gripping novel
Review: The plot was pretty believable but the main character Bess Grady was so annoying you just wanted to smack her. Story lacks depth and suspense not really a page turner. Don't know if I would read another of her books even though they were loaned to me by someone who raved about them. I don't share their opinion about them being so good you can't put them down.

Summary: Change your books, PLEASE!!!
Review: I thought this book was good, but I had already read Long After Midnight before I read this book, and they are EXACTLY the same.I wish Johansen would change the story line. I just bought The Ugly Duckling and I'm hoping that book takes a different road. I read one of the reviews on it and the guy said it's the same too. She needs to change it up. Every book has a woman who needs to go into hiding because someone's trying to kill her; they have a man to protect them, they fall in love, have sex, stay together at the end. CHANGE THE STORY A LITTLE!

Summary: So incredibly disappointed...........
Review: I picked up this book because I've loved Iris Johansen ever since she was first published. I can't believe the same person has written this book. Okay, I thought The Ugly Duckling was an attempt to leap into "hardcover respect", therefore that was why there was so little romance or even any kind of sexual tension, but this book is even worse. I spent half of the book wanting to throttle Bess and the other wanting to backhand Kaldak. God, another one of those heroes who drag the heroine around, abuse her and then announce "But of course I love you." Spare me! Where is the good Iris Johansen - the one you swore could ignite the pages of a book because her characters' words and actions were so hot? Please, bring her back!!!!!!

Summary: Main character is obnoxious!
Review: I have read hundreds of mystery/thriller books and rarely have given up on a book half-way through - which I did with this one. I could not stand the self-centered, argumentative main character, Bess Grady. Neither she or the plot were believable - even for a work of fiction.

Summary: better than most of the customer reviews!
Review: What is wrong with you people! This book is one of the best ever written. I don't see how you couldn't like this book. It has the potential to be a great action film. When I finished reading it I liked it so much I read it again.

Summary: A waste of time and money
Review: "And Then You Die" is the second book I have read by Iris Johansen. My first was "The Ugly Duckling" which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I bought "And Then You Die", which is TERRIBLE! Like some of the previous people have said, the CIA would never have done all that for Bess, and if Esteban really wanted Bess dead, he could have easily of done it, by exploding her house, sending a sniper, etc, etc; it's not like he couldnt afford it. Another thing is that Iris Johansen overly uses the phrase "Damn you". It seems like throughout the entire novel someone is damning someone else. There really were no twists in this book,it was entirely predictable, and the book just died after Bess got away from Esteban on about page 50.

Summary: Great book but author needed to do some research
Review: I thought that Iris Johansen did a wonderful job with "And Then You Die." The story was well written, fast paced, and very interesting. The only thing that bothered me was the last 100 pages. As a resident of Collinsville, Illinois (where the last part of the book takes place), I was disappointed to see that the author knew nothing about the city. Collinsville has no airport, no North Avenue, and the east side of town is rather wealthy, not the slums as the book portrays. These misconceptions ruined the end of the book for me. I wish the author had taken an hour to find out some details about the city in which the major even of the book happened.

Summary: First of many Iris Johansen books for me to read.
Review: This book grabbed me from the very beginning. I didn't want to put it down. The fact that this could happen in the world today really kept me involved.

Summary: Hard To put Down!!
Review: Iris Johansen has broken out of the romance genre with her recent thrillers. Kaldak and Bess are both strong personalities with painful pasts. The author captures the emotional swings between fear and anger that both characters feel within themselves in a way that her readers can understand. There are many twists and turns and I found myself constantly wondering who Bess could trust. The CIA and terrorist organizations are great backdrops for the personal struggles of the main characters. I loved every minute of my escape into Bess's life!

Summary: very good story, definately worth reading
Review: This was the first book by this author and I truly enjoyed it. Very easy to read, yes it was a page turner and I am now reading Long after Midnight.
