A Pageturner for sure!
5 July 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I brought this book along with me to read during an originally short plane trip. I started reading it on the way home and after two planes and a 5 hour delay in the middle, I easily finished this book in one day. This was a great book to have with me because it was really a page turner and helped to quickly pass the time. One thing I think Stuart Woods does well is put several twists into his books which made me look up and say "No way!" throughout this book.
The main character is Wolf Willet who we get to know in the start as a guy who likes his routine and has made a large amount of money in the entertainment business. In the beginning he flies from Sante Fe on his way to LA and has plane troubles and lands near the Grand Canyon. He reads the NY Times headline which says that his wife, his best friend, and him are found shot dead at his home in a guest bedroom. Through the entire rest of the book, Wolf continues to find out who the killer and the dead people really are. You are introduced to many characters who you consistently question...who do you really trust?
This was a great mystery by Stuart Woods and I would definately recommend it to anyone!

Oh Come On
28 Sep 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Very disappointing. Stuart Woods can be very good. That's why I read him. Chiefs, Grass Roots, and Run Before the Wind were excellent. Other books have not been so wonderful and this was one of them. I kept finding myself saying, "Oh come on" way too many times during this book. Wolf doesn't seem to have a conscience, and I found it hard to find any redeeming qualities in him. This book was just too slick, and the characters way too shallow. Your wife is just killed, so you fly off to L.A. to finish a script? You start an affair? What's missing from this picture?

A Must-Read Novel!!
29 April 1997
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I could not put this book down, it was so intriguing. Not only was it fast-paced, but it had an unusual and different story line, and that's what I liked the most; something different for a change.
At the beginning of the novel, the murders take place and from then on, you haven't a clue as to who the killer is, even though you suspect the main character, as does the police and the district attorney. However, it's not until the end of the book, the very end, that you find out who the killer is, and it will just give you the shock of your life!!! It was a great book and I would recommend it to anyone that likes murder mysteries.
