Summary: Absolutely Outstanding
Review: I picked this book at the recoomendation of no one. However from page one I was enthralled. The plot was exceptional. This author managed to keep your interest for 500 pages while not knowing what this major secret was. I had no idea until the last page and my mouth was left completely open. His style of having you follow along with the investigator was just phenomenal. I can't say enough about the book. More than an excellent read. And his mastery of words was beyond descriptive and amazing. Must read.

Summary: Implausible, but a good read
Review: You have to check reality at the door when you read this book, but it's fun to consider the possibilities of DNA after you've read it. It's absolutely enthralling; an excellent mystery.

Summary: An Intriguing Thriller
Review: I listened to the unabridged version of this book on tape and found it to be incredibly entertaining. It is long (17 hours on tape) but if you have some time to kill, its definitely worth a go. Although the big secret isn't all that hard to guess and the book does drag a bit in the last third its tremendously enjoyable, in a guilty pleasure sort of way. I forsee this becoming a better than average summer popcorn movie--some of the characters even seem to have been written with big time stars in mind (Harrisson Ford, Danny DeVito, Jodie Foster perhaps). At any rate this is perfect fare for a lengthy week at the beach or a long drive.

Summary: Excellent! The best ending ever.
Review: This book has a great storyline. It is entertaining throughout. The best part, however, is the ending. Amazing!

Summary: An enjoyable two-day read
Review: Of course you know where this plot is going long before the ending of this book (and the confrontation on the island lacks credulity) but I still enjoyed this read. Take it on vacation. Perfect. I also recommend Karen Hall's DARK DEBTS if you enjoyed Case's work.

Summary: Slow to start. Interesting ending.
Review: This was a slow book to develop. I kept looking for a character I could care about but none of them were really developed enough - ever. The book took forever to get exciting and then the ending was interesting. But I don't think the ending was good enough to make up for the rest of the book's slowness.

Summary: An ending t o end all endings...
Review: If you love awesome endings and incredible twists, then this is the book for you without a doubt. OK so it does take some time to develop, but as all good stories should, it more than makes up for it with quickly picking up the pace and building up to a fantastic finish!! The ending is the best you'll ever read...

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: John Case's book is a thrill-packed suspense/action story that somehow manages to mix fact and fiction together in a wonderful novel. This is a pretty honorable achievement considering some of the stories out there today. The book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I plowed through it in two days--I didn't want it to end. Granted, I predicted some of the action before the main character did, but that didn't take away from the story one bit--it only provided dramatic irony, and in just the right amount. While many readers have said that they think the ending is too rushed, I personally loved it--all you who haven't read it will love it too--it's the kind of ending that makes you want to read the sequel (unfortunately there's not one), and fast! All the characters were realistic and easy to empathize with. I hope this kind of thing never happens, but if it does, we'll know where to look! Again, it's a great book--everyone should read it!

Summary: Interesting plot; tiresome characters
Review: I listened to this book on tape (unabridged). The story was interesting though it took FOREVER to unfold and I had to fight the desire to fast-forward.The characters, however, were incredibly tiresome, especially (unfortunately) the "hero," Lassiter, who shows a remarkable lack of intuition, intelligence, and conversational savvy for somebody who owns his own detective agency. Not only does Lassiter's stupidity get a number of people killed it almost ends his life -- it's unfortunate that the reader is deprived of that happy ending, though.
