Knock out not a TKO,
By C. Ulen “Clue Impaired” (Grand Junction, MI) -
This review is from: KnockOut: An FBI Thriller (FBI Thrillers) (Hardcover)
It was an interesting book, very action oriented, not too much of the romance that I look for where they have so much Sherlock and Savich together. It’s like they were missing something. Otherwise pleasantly paced and interesting. I like some action with some personal connections in her other books, it was lacking here, but the characters were fully formed and easy to understand. I think she also needs to work on her endings. They are too abrupt and don’t snap closed enough for a good ending. I’d buy it again and read it again, just not with the same anticipation I had when I bought it. (Had the woman dig it out of the box for me, I was so excited. It did not live up to my expectations.)
Suspense but little romance,
By C. Thilmany “dearheart” -
This review is from: KnockOut: An FBI Thriller (FBI Thrillers) (Hardcover)
13th book in the FBI series that is more suspense than romance.
Savich gets a telepathic message from a 7 year-old girl just as he’s falling asleep. She’d seen him on TV and knows he’s a hero and she needs help, so tried to reach him. Her father’s relatives have just recently learned of her existence and all are gifted with various powers to mess with someone else’s mind. And they want her in their fold and will stop at nothing to grab her, even though she’s surrounded by deputies and the sheriff.
As with most of the books, there is a 2nd issue taking place. Savich was a customer in a bank that was getting robbed and stops the robbery. One of the robbers is a 16 year-old girl who wants to kill Savich and the bank’s security guard because her mother, another of the bank robbers, was killed in a shootout before they could escape with the loot. With her cousin’s help, she’s able to escape from a hospital and the hunt is on.
The romance? Between 7 year-old Autumn’s mother and Sheriff Ethan Merriweather who come together to keep Autumn safe from her very scary uncle.
The book takes place a couple of months after Tailspin, so the homelife of Sherlock and Savich goes forward with Sherlock recovering from losing her spleen in the last book. The characters are interesting, the story moves fast, the suspense is good, and as always, the book contains a lot of humor.
Time for Sherlock and Savich to Retire,
By R-Ster “R-ster” (Washington DC) -
This review is from: KnockOut: An FBI Thriller (FBI Thrillers) (Hardcover)
I have been a fan of Catherine Coulter’s for decades and of Sherlock and Savich since they first appeared but this book failed on so many levels. With all the whining and worrying I was ready for a surprise revalation at the end of the book that one or both of them was leaving the FBI. The plot was so lacking that I find it hard to call it either a thriller or a romance. Trite, cliched and recycled are the best descriptors for this one. We have seen it all before- the small town police chief, the plane crash, the wise beyond their years child, the psychic elements, the psycho family members, even the injuries to either Sherlock or Savich. There are better versions of this story out there, even better versions by Coulter. Stick with them and leave this one at the store.
