Summary: Blood Oath
Review: if you are one of the few people who have read this book when it was first released under the title "The Initiation" then you know you are in for a good who done in mystery.

The pace of the story does go at a good clip and does lag in some parts but it quickly picks up pace again so you don't lose interest in the story.

The surprising ending is a shocker but as a 'who's the bad guy' type mystery it is well written and keeps the reader guessing.

Summary: Johnstone's Blood Oath - a fast pace ride of revenge.
Review: If you have read any of William W. Johnstone's books, you know he has a keen sense of humor and a sharp wit. In Blood Oath be prepared for his humor to be slimmed down to just one character: Detective Lieutenant Joe Davis. Johnson uses Joe Davis to take his readers on a fast pace, wild, and at times gut retching, ride through the brutal murder investigations.

Without giving away the major plot, Blood Oath is a super charged runaway train - packed with sexual tension, over tones and graphic detail of rape, murder and multination; all in the name of revenge.

If/when you read past the graphic details the true art of writing can be seen. Johnstone not only has a way of making words paint full color pictures, but he is a true master of "hook 'em - play 'em & keep 'em reading."
