My experience with Coulter starts here as far as I know, and as some people in the reviews have said, this book blows. It doesn't really begin with a hook, and when I started it, I had no idea it was #9 in a series. That alone likely is why the book lost me, but I tried to keep reading it regardless. Every detail felt bland and filler-esque. It was like Coulter was trying to lengthen the word count. I'm not a skimmer, but I found myself skimming parts, questioning if dialogue had any point. I love banter, I love conversations that serve purposes or just show how two characters get along, but everything in this book felt dry.

My mom never really suggested the series to me, and I think I know why she never read the book fully herself. If you like FBI books, you might like Blow Out, but you might like a lot more books better than it too. Don't start here if you're trying to get into the CSI/FBI area, it will -very likely- suck your enthusiasm dry. ( )

Synopsis: On his way back from the store, during a long weekend in the Poconos, Savich encounters a woman running from the woods begging him to help her. Evidently someone is trying to murderer her. However, when he gets to her house, she disappears...as does her house, only to be replaced by a derelict building. Before he can investigate further, their weekend is 'cut short when Sherlock and Savich are helicoptered back to Washington to lead the investigation into the brutal murder of a Supreme Court Justice.
Savich allows Callie Markham, an investigative reporter with The Washington Post, to partner with local Metro Police liaison Ben Raven, since she's got an inside track - she's the stepdaughter of the murdered justice. Despite Detective Raven's unwillingness to have a civilian along, Callie Markham ends up riding shotgun to help look for her stepfather's murderer.
Within the next twenty-four hours there's another murder with the same M.O.
Sacivh learns,' after another visit from Samantha Barrister he must also solve a thirty-year-old crime. 'Savich and Sherlock learn that at the time of her death Samantha had a six-year-old son, who disappeared as a teenager. Savich is convinced the missing boy is the key' to Samantha's murder 30 years ago.
Review: This is the best book thus far in this series. Both murder investigations were entertaining, and intriguing. ( )

I really enjoyed this Catherine Coulter thriller. Agents Dylan Savichand Lacey Sherlock are vacation when a supreme court justice is murdered. They’re called back to Washington to investigate, and as more killings occur, realize they’re working with a dangerous assassin. The mystery was great in this one, as well as the slow reveal of clues. One of her best!

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

Another mediocre genre FBI book.... sorry I wasted my time on it, and I won't be reading any more of Coulter's books. ( )

I generally enjoy Catherine Coulter's books, especially the FBI series featuring husband and wife FBI agents, Sherlock and Dillon Savich... but this story starts strangely with a ghost and ends after a long journey about the main story, which is the assassination of a Supreme Court Justice. While the storytelling is good -- and the mystery slow to unfold -- I found the dialogue strange and clunky at times. A decent who-done-it, but I think she has written better novels than this one.
