5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written book with an unexpected ending, 1 Aug 2000
This review is from: Cover Story (Paperback)
I'm a bit of a Colin Forbes fan, but this is the best that I've read so far. You can clearly tell that he has researched this book well, and the story is strong and gripping. Never expected the ending!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting period piece, not a great thriller, 3 Aug 2008
This review is from: Cover Story (Paperback)
"Cover Story" was written in the mid-1980s and is set in Finland, Estonia and Sweden. It's an interesting period piece, but not a very good thriller. It moves slowly and there's very little suspense, but it gves an interesting view of the Scandinavian and Baltic countries during the Cold War. Recommended mostly to those interested in this part of history, not so much recommended to those looking for a page turner. 2,5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Cover Story - Fantastic!, 23 May 2007
By Fiona Hardie - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cover Story (Paperback)
I have read many of Colin Forbes' books over the last few years, but Cover Story has to be the best so far. A very well researched book in terms of location and knowledge, plenty of characters to wonder about and a great twist at the end.

If you only ever buy one Colin Forbes book, Cover Story has to be it!

This would make an excellent movie thriller if the right actors were cast against each character.

I have at least six others I have not read yet, and my eventual aim is to have every book he wrote. His style of writing grips you from the first page,and you just cannot put the book down - many late nights creeping into early mornings spent reading, especially when you are perhaps 100-200 pages from the end!

1.0 out of 5 stars boring from cover to cover
