Savich and Sherlock are back in author Catherine Coulter's
21st F.B.I.
thriller with the action starting on the first page and
spinning on to the very end. It starts with Savich helping a
young pregnant woman in a hostage situation, followed by an
escape of a bank robber being transferred to prison and how
those two events are rectified will keep you glued to the pages.
The normal Ms. Coulter book usually has a lot of
heart-stopping action, with amazing dialogue that could be
perfectly normal conversations to technical F.B.I. talk and
even teasing, funny moments. ENIGMA is this and so much
more. As always the characters are diverse and on the most
part believable -- it was just me but the vampire looking
Russian actually made me laugh instead of being afraid. You
have a young woman who wakes up and finds herself pregnant,
scientists, politicians, an escaped con and that is only a
few of the people in this book. But as usual, the
transitions between characters and different cases and
action is smooth and you will not get lost. If you are like
me you will find yourself riding along unable to stop.
The various crimes and complex situations will keep you on
the edge of your seat. The reader will get to see again the
life and love of Savich and Sherlock and their son Sean.
Also, a big part of the storyline is Cam Wittier and Jack
Cabot, she is new to his unit and Jack is one Savich wants
on his team. Romance is never a heavy element for Coulter's
books but you get the feel of the closeness that slowly
develops between the two, especially after she figures out
he can fly a plane even one as small as the one he presents
her. Their dialogue is snarky, funny and humorous until it
was time to get down to F.B.I. work then they were all
business. What I really thought was rather peculiar, in a
good way, is the fact that Ms. Coulter gave not one but
three epilogues and the last one caught me completely by
surprise.
ENIGMA will give you a thrill ride with a varied and
intriguing line of characters, the twisty trails that wraps
up all the mysteries into one amazing finale. If you have
never read any of Ms. Coulter's F.B.I. books you are missing
a great series, but this one is a stand-alone and can be
enjoyed while you look for all her other books.
