FBI thrillers- all have the same premise but are fun to listen to ( )
  ReadingKnitter01 | Aug 6, 2008 |
The murder of a Supreme Court Justice brings Savich and Sherlock home quick from a vacation that had turned strange with the appearence of a 'ghost' that asked Savich for help. The Justices' stepdaughter, Callie Markham, an Investigative reporter from 'The Washington Post' asks to be a involved with the investigation. Being the stepdaughter, she is paired with Metro Police Detective Ben Raven. Within 24 hours, another murder and then a few days later, another murder all with the same MO. They think they know who, but the why is the biggest mystery.

The ghost side story is very different, but it is an interesting addition. The typical way of Savich and Sherlock let others do a lot and they come to help, not true in this one, they are front and center more so than Callie and Ben. I felt a little cheated not getting to know them as well as most of the past characters. I was also sad to see Sherlock be so wrong about someone, she was duped and that is not her normal. ( )

FBI Thriller - Sherlock and Savich are back investigating the brutal murder of a Supreme Court Justice. This team are faced with the two of the most baffling and shocking cases of their careers.

Catherine Coulter is at her best with these FBI Thrillers. ( )

Calle, the step daughter; news reporter,assisted in finding the murderer. She fell quickly in love with Ben, a detective. Tied in with this was a 32 year old murder in which a ghost appeared and her son held his wife and children hostage. All ended well with that and I liked how it was handled. Guenter showed up at the house and tried to kill the 2 agents, without success. It turned out Guenter's mother had an affair with the Judge, as well as the clerk he had to kill. Backup & Ben saved them. A sniper killed Guenter. Wonderful book. ( )

Awful. She set it DC, never took advantage of any of the setting--it could have been set in Los Angeles or Denver and been the same story--and then the revelation of the killer was extremely disappointing. It came in completely from left field. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399151877, Hardcover)

FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock return in a dazzling new thriller. Blowout takes excitement to an all-time high level.

Married FBI agents Savich and Sherlock work and play hard: devoted to their jobs, their son, and each other, they approach each new case with gusto, and appreciate every moment of downtime they can grab. But a long weekend getaway at a secluded cabin in the Pennsylvania woods is cut short when the agents are summoned back to Washington, where a nightmare awaits them: The night before the Supreme Court is to hear opening arguments in a highly controversial death-penalty case, a prominent judge is murdered in the court's third-floor library. Savich and Sherlock are charged with heading the investigation but when the killings continue, each targeting another brilliant, successful Washington power broker, the agents are faced with their most baffling and shocking case of their lives.

As dramatic and suspenseful as anything she's ever written, Blowout is Catherine Coulter at the very height of her storytelling powers.
