I am a huge David Rosenfelt fan and at this point have lost count of how many of his books I have read. The majority of reviews which I have given for his books have been nothing but rave reviews. I recently finished "Without Warning" and enjoyed it very much although I do not feel that it is one of his best. I enjoyed his typical wit and sense of humor throughout the book, yet I have to say I missed his beloved Tara playing a role in the storyline! Still well worth reading!

I adore David Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter's "Tara" series with his quick wit that sometimes makes me laugh out loud. He writes good stand-alones also, and though I miss his comic personality, they're usually pretty suspensfull thrillers. I liked this one, but it was not quite up to par with the previous books. That being said, I do recommend this author, whatever he writes!

The author, David Rosenfelt, has written a string of incredibly funny and great mystery/thrillers. Some of them are part of the Andy Carpenter series, while others are stand alone stories.

This one is a standalone that seems weak; I dont have to have hilarious but a book that is ho-hum AND lacking humor is a real disappointment. Police chief Jake Robbins and his love interest, Katie Sanford, seemed one-dimensional and boring.

And dont get me started about Jakes grumbling about being a war hero. The main characters didnt seem to breathe. Others have outlined the plot and I wont repeat it here because I thought the plot was beyond fantastic (and not in a good way).

The reader, Jeff Steitzer, seemed overly-dramatic in this reading. However, the reader did a marvelous job of delineating characters through his range of voices.

I hate to abandon a book after I start it and that is the only reason I finished this book.
