Great book excellent author lots of action and suspense. This is the third book I have read and continue to read the others rest of the series
Excellent follow-up to the first story of the series and an excellent tale by itself. The logic and methods Bekker used were believable and reminiscent of the Sherlock Holmes classics.. Great read and hard to put down. Strongly recommended.
Really enjoyed this second in the series of John Bekker volumes. Introduced to Al Lamanda in Sunset and knew that I wanted to continue with this author. Good writing and plot,it kept my interest throughout. Looking forward to the next installment in the John Bekker saga!
Just a well crafted thought out book, not my usual genre but well worth the effort. Have read several of these books just great for a good read on a lazy day. Thank you.
Good action and interesting characters. Enjoyable reading with an interesting story line. Amanda always satisfies with a nice blend of action and suspense.
Best read of 2014! Sunrise had me from the first paragraph. Witty, fast paced, believable, I was spellbound until I finished it 5 hours later! Superb character development, dialogue that moves the story ahead while allowing your imagination to fill in the details. Highly recommend.
I had read three of this author’s books,so was prepared for lots of action and a good story and got both. A bit more of a mystery than “Sunset” which is more of a redemption story, this one is a great,fast read that has a number of unexpected plot twists.The same characters from “Sunset” appear again,along with new bad guys. Really worth reading. I would also recommend his two “Homeless” books, which while a bit close to the Bourne playbook, are fun reads. I hope that the Bekker character keeps appearing for at least a few more times.
