Review: Enigma

Enigma by Catherine Coulter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spellbinding, heart pounding action, Enigma is a book not to be missed. I love this series and Ms. Coulter's writing just gets better and better. In the latest book, it is another twofer which is fantastic. The reader is taken on a wild ride to figure out why a mysterious man is trying to protect Kara Moody, a neighbor of Dillion's friend. As more information is revealed, the story starts to delve in what I like to call "Fringe" universe. It is kind of like X-files but closer aligned to fringe science which makes this story sort of plausible. I love these side steps in reality.

Whilst this race against time to find out who the mysterious man is and his end game, Cam and Jack are trying to track a ruthless killer. When it gets tangled up in politics, it becomes even worse. It's nice to see Cam and Jack together in another book. They have a dynamic similar to Dillon and Sherlock. Except, not as sexy hawt as a Dillion and Sherlock.

What I love about this series is how well the mysteries are crafted. Ms. Coulter builds layers upon layers. I'm constantly guessing to see what will happen next and figure out who did what. I love looking for the clues she lays out and seeing if I'm right. Ms. Coulter plays her cards close to her chest as she enjoys leaving red herrings for both her characters and the readers. Her plot twists are exquisitely executed. Her villains are smart and of questionable ethics. There is no black and white in her stories which makes it more exciting for me.

Honestly, I no longer read the blurbs of her books. I enjoy going in cold and holding on to a fast paced thriller. Ms. Coulter books are automatic purchase and reads. She delivers lengthy complex novels that cause a terrible book hangover when it ends. The conclusions always end in a bang and I'm reeling from it. Plus I want more, even after spending hours reading straight through. This latest one is another page turner which I highly recommend to all suspense and thriller readers.
