I always go into reading a book by former law enforcement hesitantly. They usually get the police procedures right, you would hope so, but the story is usually not so good. This one however was a pleasant surprise. I actually picked up the book and kept reading. I didn't stop and watch TV, I didn't clean the kitchen, heck I didn't even cook dinner, my kids are old enough to get their own food. I just sat back and enjoyed the story of Special Agent Kay Malloy. I love that she wasn't perfect or a total bad ass. That is real, every cop has a learning curve. You never know it all and you're not really Jason Bourne with boobs. I was very impressed that Jan Fedarcyk made her character real, with a real family and real problems. Kay wasn't stupid enough to fall for a clear set up, she used her brain to see what was right there. As the reader you did not sit there thinking, really it's obvious come on. Jan Fedarcyk took the honest approach to how an agent really gets a job done and yet didn't bore you to death.
I think that is what impressed me most about FIDELITY, the agent didn't rely on bran to accomplish a case and the story was as close to true about how it's done without putting you to sleep. That is very hard to accomplish. My only complaint is I am pretty sure that I know who the bad spy is, but she could shock me in the next book and I could be wrong. This is a really great start to a writing career, and I am looking forward to reading more by Jan Fedarcyk.
