Book Reviews of Double Take: An FBI Thriller (FBI Series)
Book Review: NOT MY FAVORITE COULTER READ BUT WORTHWHILE AS A READ I SUPPOSE.
Summary: 3 Stars
Being something of a Catherine Coulter fan, I of course enjoyed this read. It was like visiting an old friend, and indeed, this one is filled with tried and true characters from books past.
I will say though, that this was not my favorite offering from this prodigious author. There were elements that I did not care for. On the other hand, her sheer story telling ability made up those problems that popped up here and there and for me, made it a worthwhile read. I can fully understand though why some of her readers may have been a bit put out.
This is another in a long, long line of FBI Thrillers. The story, as with many of this author's works, has at least two plot lines going. Julia, a young lady who is the prim suspect in the murder of her husband is the victim of a failed assassination attempt. We find that her murdered husband was a well known, renowned psychic. Thus begins the first plot line.
Back in Virginia, Sheriff Dixon Noble, who we last met in "Point Blank," hears about a woman whose resemblance to his missing wife in uncanny. She, if you remember, went missing some three years ago. Thus begins the second plot in our story. Is this woman his beloved wife? Why is she in California? If not his wife, then who and why?
As with Coulters other works, this story is filled to the brim with characters and characters and characters. It is lucky for us that the author has enabled us to keep track of this plethora of souls...actually, I found it quite easy.
Humming through the background, and quite often the foreground of this entire book is the hook the author hangs her work on...psychic abilities, cult like members and of course there is the every present romance and sexual tension between various member of her cast.
The author did tend to float around a bit with this one to the point of seeming almost confused herself as to what she was writing and in fact, where she was with her story at times. I found this very distracting. This novel simply was not a "tight" as many of her previous works. I found, in several cases, where the dialog was, for lack of a better word, "cheesy."
Oh well, you cannot bat a thousand year after year I suppose.
On the upside, I found the author's drift through the world of the psychic absolutely fascinating. A good friend of mine is in this business and the stories she tells me ring true to what the author has to say on the subject.
I feel the book is worth a read, especially for Coulter fans, and am glad I read it.
