Review: The Hammer of Eden

The Hammer of Eden by Ken Follett

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Peace loving, commune living, anti-war hero Priest finds his sanctuary has been put in danger. But is he all he wants us to think he is : he will stop at nothing to protect what he sees as his, even murder.

Young FBI agent Judy Maddox pits her wits against Priest and his followers (and against her less than sympathetic boss) in an attempt to prevent catastrophe striking California.

Another great Ken Follett book.

Review: Without Remorse

Without Remorse by Tom Clancy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Is it ever right to kill another human being ..... in war or in urban war? Two stories within one book with the central character, ex Navy SEAL John Kelly, moving between two lives with two separate missions.

Thought provoking and complex (it took me a lot longer than most books fo this genre to read) - more than just another suspense/thriller. As ever Clancy goes into meticulous detail and keeps the action moving.

Review: Genuine Lies

Genuine Lies by Nora Roberts

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Full of glitz and glamour, hidden secrets, lots of twists and turns to keep you interested. Of course there was a love interest but the murders, mystery, suspense carry the story as always with Nora Roberts' books. I'd worked out most of it but still got something of a surprise at the end.

Review: Monsoon Season

Monsoon Season by Katie O'Rourke

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



A complex web of relationships explored ...... that of Riley and Ben the main characters, but also those of their families and friends. Ben is the son of an abusive father, Riley has estranged herself from her own family. When Ben hits her she refuses to classify herself as an abused woman; she removes herself from the situation and runs back to home where she needs to re-establish her relationships with her family.

A weave of family and friend relationships this is not a fast-moving book with lots of action but a well written novel exploring the dynamics of day to day life.
