Paradox by Catherine Coulter

Review by Amy Holy heck, I think I am in love. I absolutely adore crime mysteries, but for some reason this is my first time reading Catherine Coulter. What in the world was I waiting for!? Paradox, her newest book in the FBI Thriller series was amazing! I cannot speak for the other books in the series, but I read this one as a standalone, and I was so utterly pleased. I can imagine I would have obtained some good backstory by reading the previous 21 books in the series, but if you have not read them yet, I would not let that stop you from picking this up. Wowza it was great! While there were a huge list of characters in this book, it mainly followed Sherlock and Savich, a married couple who works for the FBI, and Chief Ty Christie, who lives in a small town on Lake Massey. When Christie witnesses a murder on the lake outside her home, she pursues the perpetrator. Then, the crime turns federal, and Savich and Sherlock come onto the scene. The situation quickly turns personal when it links to a past case that they had worked on. Soon the aggressor is after Savich’s family and anyone else who is standing in his way. He will stop at nothing to get revenge. While they are investigating the crime scene at the lake, another discovery is made that take the detectives down the road of yet another case that brings in a whole other set of characters. This book had something going on at all times. No one could ever accuse this book of being boring. It was so beautifully plotted and everything meshed together in a perfect web of mystery, suspense, thrilling action and surprises. In previous books I got the feeling the main characters are usually Sherlock and Savich, and I enjoyed them, but I think for me, Ty stole the show. I loved her strong personality, her determination, and grit. I got the feeling she may appear in other books in the series moving forward which would be spectacular. I am officially head over heels for Coulter’s writing after reading this. I cannot wait to dive into this series from the beginning. I am giddy about what awaits me! **ARC provide by author for honest review**
