Summary: one of the best
Review: read it, it's worth it ! Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock are wonderful characters, I'm only a bit disappointed about the subplots (Sherlock's family problems) but the main plot is great and I laughed my head off for the dirty language and the adventures at the gym of Sherlock. a highly recommended book !

Summary: An amazing author and an amazing book
Review: This was one of the first books that I have read by Catherine Coulter and it was the catalyst for my love of all of her books. The story was amazing and the characters seemed very believable (but as I have yet to meet any FBI angents I simply don't know). Her way with words and the scenes which she paints bring the story alive and throughout the book you find yourself rooting for Sherlock and Savich (the heroine and hero) in all that they are doing. It is my fondest wish that she continue with her amazing writing and that she continues to come out with these amazing books.

Summary: If you love suspense, action & romance read this!
Review: The Maze was the first book I had read by Catherine Coulter. I loved it! The characters were so real that once you started reading this book you could not put it down. I have since re-read this book many times. This book is the second in the "FBI" series. The first book (The Cove) was okay but The Maze is fantastic and in my opinion the best in the series.

Summary: A real page turner!
Review: If you are looking for a romance, this really wouldn't be a good choice, but as far as a suspense thriller, this is it. Would recommend highly.

Summary: A real page turner! I couldn't put it down!
Review: I had already given up on CC but decided to give her one last try as this storyline captured me from the start. Overall, the story was fast-paced and packed with lots of action and witty dialogue. I hope CC writes more contemporary thrillers!

Summary: Left something to be disired in romance...
Review: But it was a great thriller. I loved Lacey, she was definately not your typical romance heroine which was nice because too often they are breathtakingly beautiful women who walk around and have men fall at their feet. Also, Lacey was extremly smart and was a good match for Dillon. Some of their intellectual battles were very entertaining. Although Lacey was obsessed with her sister's death, she didn't let it crontrol her every move. Dillon was the perfect match for her. They were very similar, and that's what made it seem like they were being drawn together. The mystery and suspense seemed to be shoving the love story out though. I wanted more of a romance, but it turned out to be more of a thriller then anything else. The only reason that I didn't give this book five stars (it was extremly good in the uniquness of storyline and the lines that moved you to the end of your seat) was because the climax in the plot seemed to occure towards the begining of the book rather then at the end. But if you love mystery, this is a pretty good book for you. If you want a romance, you may want to look elsewhere.

Summary: Constantly Amazed
Review: Why did I ever finish this book? I have to agree with the reviewer from CA - the dialog was so adolescent, I was embarrassed I was reading it. The continual unrealistic character building of potential suspects was, frankly, unbelievable. Subplots were never resolved. I often felt I was reading the writings of a teenage author. For example, the cheering and high-fives by the police and FBI following the killing of 2 men, which had just brutalized 2 women, was juvenile. After the shooting of one man in the 'back of the neck', blood pouring out of his nose and mouth, the victim continued to carry on several paragraphs of perfectly coherent conversation, with better grammer and vocabulary than he displayed through-out the book. I have to say this was one of the most disappointing of Coulter's books I have read.

Summary: Dumbed-down thriller trying to be romantic suspense novel
Review: I was able to finish this book, but not without cringingcountless times at the utterly horrible dialogue! I am not sure whatthe author was trying to accomplish with the mind-numbing, juvenile banter between the characters, but I was embarrassed for her throughout the book. These characters are supposed to be members of the FBI and yet they sound like adolescents for the most part. Conversations consist mostly of disjointed thoughts without any description of the speaker's mannerisms. For a book that starts with an introduction praising the editors for their work, I can only wonder, what was anyone involved in this book thinking! For a good romantic thriller, check out Kay Hooper's After Caroline. The people sound realistic in this book.Another gripe, how the heck was Sherlock able to get into the FBI in the first place? And if I had to read one more dumb comment about her name, I could have screamed. If that is the author's idea of a running joke, it was lame, lame, lame!

Summary: The Maze
Review: Are you ready for a thriller that introduces many serial killers and shows you a side of the FBI that you normally don't see? Then grab The Maze and hold on tight. It will have you gripping the edge of your seat and cheering for Lacey Sherlock, an FBI agent, as she tracks down her sister's killer with the help of her boss, Dillon Savich. It is a full blown thriller, with a hint of romance, that leads you around by the scruff of your neck. This is a nice added addition to Coulter's "FBI" series. I am looking forward to seeing Sherlock and Dillion in The Target. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Summary: Just the best!
Review: Dillon is a dream...he sings, whips up pesto, makes the laptop dance, captures homocidal maniacs. Lacey is his soul mate, a heroine who's not afraid to act as serial killer bait. The romance was top-notch, the suspense edge-of-your-seat. The Toaster killings were amazingly scary. I only hope Coulter brings Savich and Sherlock back in more interesting stories than The Target and The Edge, because both were disappointing.
