Book Reviews of TailSpin (FBI Series)
Book Review: Disappointed but...
Summary: 3 Stars
This review is for the Jove Books (imprint of The Berkley Publishing Group, a division of Penguin) paperback edition, July 2009, 346 pages of story. TAILSPIN was on the USA Today's Top 150 Best-Selling books list for 11 weeks between July 2008 and August 2009, reaching the peak position of eight. Catherine Coulter has 52 novels on the USA Today best-seller list.
TAILSPIN is a FBI thriller in Coulter's series on the exploits of agents Savich and Sherlock who are husband and wife. On Monday morning, they are sent to investigate a mayday signal near Parlow Kentucky from another agent, Jackson Crowne, who is flying one Dr. MacLean in a signal engine plane. The doctor suffers from frontal lobe dementia, which weakens his restraint to blabber about the misdeeds of his famous patients, one of whom is trying to kill him. The FBI fears someone sabotaged the plane.
The previous Friday night, unknown persons drugged Rachael Abbott and tossed her into a lake with a cement block tied to her feet. Rachael managed to escape unnoticed by her assailants. With her attackers believing her dead, Rachael sneaks away to hide with her reclusive uncle who lives near Parlow. By Monday morning she is almost there when her car breaks down on a lonely road. Rachel sees a small plane crash nearby and runs to assist. Agent Crowne and Dr. MacLean are injured but survive.
When Savich and Sherlock arrive, Rachael attempts to hide her true identity and intended destination from them until someone shoots at her and she reveals her troubles. Thereafter, agents Savich, Sherlock and Crowne struggle to keep Dr. MacLean and Rachel alive.
As both Rachael and Crowne are single, attractive and heterosexual, TAILSPIN is a romance thriller with few surprises and not much mystery or suspense. The author's tendency not to separate points of view robs the narrative of character focus and much of the dialogue is speech-like, improbable and dull. I was disappointed, but with 52 best selling novels, Catherine Coulter has satisfied millions of readers.
