Summary: A twist in the tale
Review: As a Modesty and Willie fan for many years I was excited to learn of this new release...and eagerly settled down to read it.Ranging in time from the past to the future, it exposes the full range of this real dynamic duo's skills and abilities. But nothing prepared me for the ending which left my mind whirling and my heart in my mouth. Where CAN we go from here?

Summary: Going Out In Style
Review: As a Modesty Blaise fan since 1966, when I was 14, I have avidly followed and collected all the books, and even met Mr. O'Donnell in 1985 and got 2 of my hardbounds autographed. I was both excited and reluctant to read the 'last' of the MB series. But I did, and was glad. The separate stories were classic MB and Willie, but it still did not prepare me for COBRA TRAP, the final adventure. I admire Mr. O'Donnell's accurate portrayal of the way MB and WG would want to end their action careers. As a female investigator about MB's age,(27 yrs in the field), he is right on the psychology of his ending! Cheers and kudos!!!

Summary: Felt Cheated
Review: I have all of O'Donnell's books. Many I have read several times. Cobra Trap did not live up to the usual action line of his previous books. I even thought there might be another author writing the story?
O'Donnell developed so many great endings, each story was easly visualized and enjoyed. Cobra Trap was a fair story, it's just I felt cheated. I knew an ending had to happen, just not that way.

Review: Way back in the seventies when I was a little boy back in the Dominican Repúblic I got introduced to Modesty Blaise via the newspaper strips,been a comic fan all my life I never really got to know her well because she never had(at least to my knowledge)a regular comic series,two or three weeks ago I remenbered her and got into mile high comics and Amazon com to try to get something on her,when I bought the Cobra trap I thought that it was a comic book so my first emotion receiving it was of dissapointment,nevertheless I took the time to read it and to my surprise the novel hooked me,I fell in love with Modesty and all his enviroment,it's much better (as good as they are),than the comics books I got reprinting the strips,beautiful written and very nonchalant it has the same style of another series I love very well,the Avengers with _Steed and Emma Peel,I went through the book swiftly and in the interin ordered two more books of Modesty Blaise,this was before I reached the final chapter(The Cobra Trap) last night,full of emotion and incredibly written it lead me to belive it was a something new developing when it was a revelation of what the relationship between Modesty and Willie standed and why he always was thwe first one,full of emotion I've never read anything like this before,not written like this anyway,I'd really like to hear what Mr. O'Donnel feelings were when he wrote down the last page,it should has been a very hard thing to do for him. Outstanding,to every one who loves fiction,read it!!!
