I have been looking for a good mystery series to read, and a relative told me about Thomas Perry... I wasn't sure I'd like his books, because I don't usually read the same things that she does; however, she insisted I take the first two books of the Jane Whitefield series with me on vacation over Christmas break. I read both of them in three days, and wanted more. This book is good, but the second one is even better. I can't wait to read the rest of them. These are better than anything out there! I started getting really bored with other authors, because of the lack of imagination that seems to be so commonplace in novels, but with Thomas Perry, you can tell that he really KNOWS how to write, how to use the English language, and how to kep reeling you in.... He is incredible! If you are looking for a really great book, start with this one, it's the first in a series.... (I think there are 4).......and I know you won't be disappointed.

Wow! This book grabs you by the throat from the first page and never lets up! I couldn't put it down; tons of non-stop action, suspensful twists, fascinating characters and an orignal plot set against an intriguing background. Perry's writing is nothing short of phenomenal; this was the first of his books that I've read but not the last.
If you like this book, you should also try the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child.

This is a super book. I love the whole Jane Whitefield series, and so does my husband. I have also read all of Mr. Perry's other books, and loved them all.
