Summary: Above Average
Review: This is a decent thriller. However, it drags in spots and when he goes through a stream of concious for several pages, it gets really convoluted. A clean straight forward thriller would have been better.

Summary: A great page-turner
Review: This was my first book of Thomas Perry's. I started it and really got into it, couldn't put it down. Intend to get all of the Jane Whitefield series. I highly recommend this book, it's great.

Summary: Figured out the plot in 50 pages
Review: Trite. Obviously a continuing character, so maybe other books were better. Figured out the plot in 50 pages, and nothing changed. Wondered how the heroine could be so stupid. (Maybe other books were better - this was the 1st one I'd read). If you watch "Mystery" on PBS or other mysteries on A&E, you'll have figured out the whole plot really early and can spend the rest of the book figuring out how the heroine can be so dumb!I read a lot! That mean I read a lot of bad books, too, although I try to limit them as best as I can. This book doesn't make it for me.

Summary: A Good Idea Becomes a Vanishing Act
Review: While the idea of a female non-detective protagonist is a neat twist in the genre, this female has a personality which is neither attractive nor repelling. She is a zero. It is hard to identify with her. She is humorless. Her next door neighbor is totally implausible once he decides to join the chase. The plot was destroyed by the characters. I was hoping Jane Whitefield would get whacked and save me some pain.
