Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Bombshell (2013) (FBI thriller #17) by Catherine Coulter. Why bother with this book? Why would you want to read this piece of dreck? I suppose that if you have managed to wade through the first 16 novels in this series you might feel obligated to keep going till the end. Or if you are in a reading group and this book was selected for the next read, yes, I can see that as a valid reason. But to actually like this book takes a stretch of the imagination and a lot of overlooking common sense and practical matters when it comes to FBI procedures. The entire premise stinks to high heaven. Who drags a body across town (in this case Washington D.C.) just to leave the body outside one of the most visited historical sites in America? Security in the form of cameras and actual personnel must have the area pretty well secured. Posting a photo to YouTube? Really? What planet are you from? And the characters involved must have been on break from a bodice-ripping romance. Except there wasn’t any passion here, real or feigned. And people are killed off mostly for the sake of having a new plot point rather than to move the story on towards a natural conclusion. And characters (so many, many characters) seem to weave into view, say a line or two, and waddle out again with little or no explanation of who they are. It took me awhile to realize Sherlock was the wife and not Savic’s psychic enabled dog using its abilities to communicate. But the “psychic” stuff is left to another character, believe it or not. Toss in a very meek and, well to be honest, stupid, platoon of MS13 gang members who don’t mind dying for someone else’s cause, and doing stupid things along the way, and you have a portion of the inane actions here in this “thriller’. Why was a man killed in Delsey’s apartment? Because the author had to get her hunky FBI agent involved in the story. There is no other reason. And the list goes on. To sum it up, this Bombshell is a dud. Avoid at all costs. Catherine Coulter always writes a well-paced crime thriller. This book, like others in the series, features two separate mysteries that teams of detectives are working to solve. In one, an FBI agent's sister returned home from a party only to be attacked in her apartment. Untangling what's really going on in her small college music town turns out to be quite a mess. In the other mystery, a body is found at the Lincoln Memorial with no clues about the killer. Coulter's pacing and storytelling is always topnotch and I always enjoy seeing how Savich and Sherlock will untangle the latest mess!
