One of the best books by Catherine Coulter, her characters Sherlock and Dillon are wondreful and the mystery behind the murders that bring them together is great.

Very good series.

The Maze, an FBI Thriller, by Catherine Coulter, was polished and actually quite good! Some serious plot twists and just an abundance of potential bad guys (I kept changing my mind as to "Who Dunnit"). Four and a half stars. (

I really enjoyed this book. I want to read all of Coulter's FBI series novels. This one introduces us to Savich and Lacey Sherlock, who will become his wife. She is searching for answers to the death of her sister, who was killed by a psycho serial killer in an elaborate maze. She herself is caught in the Maze and comes close to the same fate. She discovers why her dreams of her sister's death are so real. The book kept me in suspense throughout. I had a difficult time putting it down. (

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0515122491, Mass Market Paperback)

Full of karate, pistol-whipping, and other malevolent mayhem, Catherine Coulter's The Maze could be described as a junior-varsity version of Silence of the Lambs. As in that novel, the heroine in The Maze, Lacey Sherlock, becomes an FBI agent to help unravel the mysteries of her own past. Seven years after her sister was brutally slain by a serial killer (the wonderfully creepy "String Killer"), Lacey is assigned to the FBI's Criminal Apprehension Unit (CAU). The CAU, headed by brawny bureau egghead Dillon Savich, uses computer modeling to catch the baddest guys around--it's like profiling, but with databases. Before you know it, Dillon and Lacey are tangling with the String Killer. Even when the scenarios are not terribly inventive--"Let's use Lacey as bait! What a great idea!"--Coulter makes sure that her bad guys are good and twisted. A touch of bloody-mindedness can cover up a multitude of sins, and on that score, The Maze satisfies.
