Reviews

Praise for Catherine Coulter “Pulse-pounding terror mixed with romance makes for page-turning pleasure.” —Kirkus Reviews on Reckoning “Propulsive…Scintillating suspense…Series fans will be riveted from the very first page.” —Publishers Weekly on Reckoning “The twenty-sixth installment of Coulter’s FBI series delivers just what the author’s fans have come to expect: a story that doesn’t go where we might expect it to; a supporting cast of new and exciting characters; and two familiar faces, Savich and Sherlock, who have come to feel like old friends.” —Library Journal on Reckoning “A missing person’s case kicks off bestseller Coulter’s nail-biting 25th FBI thriller…Coulter does her usual fine job of building suspense by shifting between the parallel narratives. This long-running thriller series shows no sign of losing steam.” —Publishers Weekly on Vortex “Coulter is always good, but in Vortex she uses her considerable talents to spin a complex tale of escalating stakes in a full-bore thriller that is not to be missed.” —The Providence Journal “A new release from Catherine Coulter is always a special treat for suspense thriller fans—fans who will devour Vortex…[a] fast-paced, action-filled read.” —The Big Thrill “Eerie, unsettling, and breathlessly terrifying.” —The Real Book Spy on Paradox “Marcus and the Duchess are sparring lovers worthy of Shakespeare’s Beatrice and Benedick...and their supporting cast is every bit as much fun.” —The Detroit Free Press on The Wyndham Legacy
