Review: Not all of these are really Killer Thrillers
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 4, 2014
Of the nine books, not all were thrillers by my definition. "Jet" by Russell Blake is a fast paced action book which sets the stage for future volumes of Jet. Once you start this you will have difficulty interrupting it. I look forward to reading additional "Jet" volumes. 5 stars "Irretrievably Broken" by Melissa F Miller is the best of the nine volumes in this. Sasha McCandless is asked to represent the husbands of two of her former associates who have been killed. This is a Legal Thriller in every sense of the word and I rated this one 5 solid stars. "Never Go Home" by L. T. Ryan is more a spy novel  in that former assassin Jack Noble returns to his homeland to help a local small town sheriff with her investigation. Jack needs all his past skills to keep ahead of his adversary. "The Critical Element" by John L Betcher involves the FBI, CDC and the CIA in addition to four local cops who are searching for a mysterious meteor and it all leads to a terror plot against the country's largest shopping mall. 4 stars (a little too far fetched. Tried to blend humor in a deadly plot.) "The Dark Path" by Luke Romyn is a dark supernatural tale of horror rather than a mystery thriller. Add some rather graphic language and ... 3 stars. "Thirteen to None" by Claude Bouchard is a tale of home invasions featuring (from the blurb of the book) 'drunken orgies of terror, destruction, rape and murder'. 3 stars. "The Devil's Cauldron" by Mike Wallace is a good book about a woman who is paralyzed except for moving her eyes and tapping one finger, all as a result of an accident 7 years prior and which she cannot tell what happened. A cure is in sight but there are those who would keep it from her. 4+ stars. (a good read). "Crazy Days in Big Lake" by Nick Russell is a fun read about Big Lake (a small community) which seems to have gone crazy all at once. Flower children or hippies invade a park, a store manager barricades himself in the store, a retired couple shoots an intruder and ... you will have to read this to find out the rest. 4+ stars (another good read). "The Delilah Complex" by MJ Rose is about The Scarlet Society, a secret club of 12 powerful and sexually adventurous wealthy women. They dominate men in their orgies, which are rather graphically described. A photograph of the body of one of the men is sent to one of the members of the SS. They turn to a sex therapist and it rapidly turns into a murder investigation as more pictures of their dominated men appear. Contains graphic sex and language. 2 stars.Overall I rated this collection 4 stars. Well worth the price but I personally could have done without the last book. Definitely not my cup of tea.
