Thrillers are 'hit and miss' for me, mainly because I find
that few authors are truly adept at capturing my attention
from the very first sentence of the very first chapter.
Fortunately, THE BURNING EDGE is a definite 'hit'. As the
story line opens, we are immediately thrown into a horrific
gunfight, where our main character Lisa finds herself one of
the only witnesses. The description of the entire episode
is absolutely riveting, right down to the comment about Lisa
touching a victim's face. I could easily see it in my
mind's eye, all the while feeling completely engrossed and
frightened at the same time. This sets the tone for the
entire book - and when you throw in an appearance of the
lead detective, who finds himself having to deal with his
very own lot of very bad news. Within THE BURNING EDGE, you
have a riveting thriller that kept me saying 'just one more
'chapter' until I had not chapters left.
Mofina is clearly a pro, having written his share of
thrillers and he knows how to keep the pace moving along at
all times which is a huge plus in my opinion. THE BURNING
EDGE is a non-stop ride that will keep the pages turning. I
could not find one downside to this wonderful novel.
