After reading Chris Culver's The Abbey, I couldn't wait for his next book to be published. Just Run did not disappoint! The story flows well, the characters are well developed and the mystery is not solved until the last chapters. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. Can't wait for the next one!

The first 90% of the book is extremely good, keeping you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out any way out of the characters' dilemma. The final pages, where the plot is resolved are not as satisfying a I hoped, leaving some things not explained. It is still a very good book to spend an afternoon on.

Just Run is the second book by this author that I had just discovered, having bought it because I was (1) looking for new authors and (2) it was cheap! The beginning seemed a little stumbly and kinda amateurish, but quickly revved up to a 'I can't put this down'! After the first book by this author I was wondering why I hadn't run across him before.

Culver has this unique narrative in his story telling that he has just the perfect inclusion of pertinent detail. As a result it is extremely easy to follow the story because everything is laid out in vivid detail, as though I am there in person. Too much or too little details could otherwise cause doubt and distraction. So this latest (?) novel is very exciting and quite a fast pace page turner, and I could finish reading the 500 pages in the same day had I not exercise some control.
In addition, the character set and story is totally fresh and different than his last book, The Abbey. I think that shows his talent in writing. He does not have to rely on sequels to reap a profit. And the plot this time is much much much more believable than The Abbey.
It's worth my money in another word.

Chris Culver's latest was a great read. Through a well developed plot and interesting characters, it will keep you involved right up until the end. I highly recommend this book for all mystery readers. Can't wait to read his third book due out soon - I hope!

Fast moving, great characters and a twisting plot. What more could one ask for!

Run, run, run! I could have written this whole 505 page book in 25 pages or less and made it more interesting. Give it a pass.

500 pages kept my interest to the very end. An unlikely pair run for their lives in a well written action mystery. Do they trust each other every moment? No... but need each other to survive.
Worth reading will keep your interested to the last page.

I enjoyed the book until I reached the end. It may be kosher in the era of reality TV to lie or to achieve by subterfuge, but I personally do not care for it. The implied hero lies to achieve a personal vendetta under the guise of protecting someone else that he is using as bait. Just does not hold water.

I kept hoping it would get better but it didnt. Too much discription of scenery as filler and I really hated the ending.

I enjoyed this book just as much as "The Abbey" which I read previously. I wonder if there will be more stories about this main character. I hope so.

Well constructed story that keeps you guessing about the main character right to the end. This is my second Chris Culver read and I can't wait for more. Good author.

She spent most of her childhood following her father from city to city as he played poker in back-alley bars, illegal card rooms and casinos.

Until now, she never realized how important those lessons really are.While investigating a database she isn't supposed to have, she and a colleague discover a pattern no one is supposed to find.
