This is the first novel I've read by this author. I will definitely be checking out book 2. It was a very heavy read and pulled at your emotions. It was well written with a lot of detail and great character development. The plot seemed fairly believable to me. With the multiple pov's and time jumps you have to pay close attention to stay present in the timeline. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys conspiracy, procedural, and suspense. I have to leave a trigger warning as it deals with difficult subject matter. ( ) Tell Me Lies by Ed James Detective Max Carter #1 The first chapter set my teeth on edge and that might be because I have lived overseas in the Middle East for more years than I have lived anywhere else. Having a young boy taken from school by “military” types during an “exercise” then finding out little by little what happened or did not happen to this boy with a Muslim father made me...angry. I have to admit I skipped ahead to find out the gist of the story rather than just closing the book and not trying. I did not read every word in the book but this is my impression from what I did read… What I liked: * Max Carter – seems to be a good man intent on finding and saving abducted children. He is married to a good woman and has a little girl. He has issues with his father that encouraged him into the job he has with the FBI * The writing – it was well done, fast-paced and executed well Words that came to mind while reading: * Dark * Grim * Greed * Revenge * Big Business * Government * Black Ops * Torture * Child Abduction * Torture * Terrorists * Evil * Religion * Radicals * Terrorists What I did not like: * What happened to Faraj * The manipulation of grieving parents * Bullying that began the book * Not being able to invest enough to read every word Did I like this book? Not as much as I had hoped to from the description Would I read more in this series? I might give one more book a try Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC – This is my honest review.

"Megan Holliday opens her eyes and finds herself slumped on her doorstep. The last thing she remembers is being in the car with her two kids. She sees a handwritten note on her lap - Don't call the police. It's then that she realises her car is missing, and her children are gone...Leading the FBI's Child Abduction Rapid Deployment team, FBI agent Max Carter will stop at nothing to find children taken from their families. After all, he was once one of those taken children, so he knows exactly what's at stake. When he hears that a young senator's two children have been abducted and their mother left for dead, he races to the Holliday family home in Washington State. Facing a wall of police cruisers and blacked-out SUVs, Carter quickly uncovers the facts. Megan Holliday was ambushed by a man with a gun as she returned home from taking her kids out for ice cream. Bound and drugged, the attacker left her unconscious on the doorstep with the sinister note on her lap. As Senator Christopher Holliday walks through the halls of the US Federal Building in Seattle, his phone beeps with an alert. Frustrated by the interruption, he takes a cursory glance and is horrified by the image on the screen - his two children, Brandon and Avery, unconscious. The message he gets simply reads Meet me or they die. When Agent Carter tries to make contact with the busy senator, it seems the politician has gone missing, fleeing from the Federal Building and abandoning his distraught wife. If Carter knows one thing, it's that Holliday has something to hide. And he just became Carter's prime suspect."--Amazo Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
