They Disappeared by Rick Mofina – Book Summary

They Disappeared by Rick Mofina – Book ReviewWe all love a good thriller novel and thanks to Rick Mofina’s last one, Vengeance Road, I was quite looking forward to the latest offering, They Disappeared by Rick Mofina. I managed to get my hand on this one last weekend and all in all, it proved to be a nice read.

The plot outline is simple enough. A family on a dream holiday to New York which goes terribly wrong when the protagonist’s (Jeff Griffin) wife and son go missing. It’s worse when the police don’t believe you thanks to your domestic quarrels. And it gets even worse when you realize that Sarah (the wife) and Cole (the son) could be unwilling participants in a major terrorist plan!

To be honest, the ending was pretty predictable but all in all, it’s not a bad novel to read on a weekend. Thanks to the author’s background in crime reporting, the language and research seems pretty much in depth and the fast pace will definitely keep you reading page after page.

Below is a short summary of this Rick Mofina novel:

“A loving family, fracturing under pressure…

Jeff Griffin, a mechanic, and his wife, Sarah, travel from Montana to Manhattan to give their nine-year-old son, Cole, his dream vacation as they secretly face the heart-wrenching turmoil that has them teetering on divorce.

In the wake of their heartbreak, a mother and son disappear…

While sightseeing near Times Square, Jeff steps into a store to buy batteries for their camera—but upon returning to the street he finds that Sarah and Cole have vanished.

A frantic father searches for clues as time ticks down…

Battling his anguish and police suspicions, Jeff fights to rescue Sarah and Cole. He knows now that the love he and Sarah have is worth saving. But he could lose the chance to tell her amid growing fears that they have become entangled in an unfolding plot that could have global consequences…”

Rick Mofina is already an acclaimed author and has several bestselling novels to his name but his expertise lies in writing gripping crime novels thanks to his background as a former crime news reporter. For more information please visit www.rickmofina.com

Paradise City by Archer Mayor – Book Review

by BookWorm on October 17, 2012

Paradise City by Archer Mayor – Book Summary

Paradise City by Archer Mayor – Book ReviewFor all those, like me, who love reading detective novels, Archer Mayor is a name to reckon with and his Joe Gunther featuring books are the best of the lot. I read the last one, The Tag Man, sometime last year so was really looking forward to this 23rd Joe Gunther novel, Paradise City by Archer Mayor.

Although Paradise City reads as a police procedural, the truth is that it’s much more than just that. Not only does it have some memorable characters that have been conceived and drawn out quite skillfully, they are also the unlikeliest set of character you’ll ever meet. The book opens bang in the middle of a robbery followed by an unfortunate murder and from there on, takes you on a roller coaster ride of riddling clues, daring escapes and long lost treasure!

All in all a highly entertaining novel from Archer who is slowly making this genre his own!

Below is a short summary of this new book by Archer Mayor:

“Joe Gunther and his team at the Vermont Bureau of Investigation are alerted to a string of unrelated burglaries across Vermont. Someone, in addition to flat screens, computers, and stereos, has also been stealing antiques and jewelry.

Meanwhile, in Boston, an elderly woman surprises some thieves in her Beacon Hill home and is viciously murdered. The Boston police find that not only is the loot similar to what’s being stolen in Vermont, but it may have the same destination. Word is out that someone powerful is purchasing these particular kinds of items in the “Paradise City” of Northampton, Mass.

Gunther, the Boston Police, and the vengeful niece of the murdered old lady convene on Northampton, eager to get to the bottom of the mystery and find the “responsible parties” – although each is motivated to mete out some very different penalties…

Thus begins the thrilling tale of Paradise City by Archer Mayor…”

Archer Mayor is already a well known author and I’d be surprised if you haven’t heard of him before. His Gunther series (Paradise City is the 23rd Joe Gunther novel) of detective novels has been described by the media as “the best police procedurals being written in America” and he has several awards to his credit.
