Jeffery Deaver- Edge 4.25 Stars
Corte is a federal agent responsible for
the protection/hiding of people who have information that lifters want to extract
for their bosses. Henry Loving is one such lifter, the most ruthless of these
lifters, and Corte has come across him once before. The last time Loving killed
his mentor, this time Corte will be out for revenge, he just can’t let it cost
him his charges. His current charges that Loving is after are the Kesslers. He
must protect them from this madman and prevent them from giving up the
information, the only problem is no one knows what information he could
possible be after.
The opening section of Edge grabbed my attention and it prepared me for a great read. It
was a different kind of book from some of the others I have read by Deaver, but
I enjoyed it. The plot was well thought out with many great twists and turns
that just keep the reader guessing and wondering what could possibly surprise
you next. That being said I do often feel that he slips in one too many twists
that his main characters always magically figure out and have known for a while
they were just manipulating things to catch the villain. Such was the case in
this one, although it didn’t really detract from the overall read. The characters
were well crafted and seemed to be very realistic. I do get tired of his
under-aged characters though, all the young girls say ‘like’ many times, which
is not an accurate portrayal of young girls. I was also wondering why a
sixteen-year-old girl would be carrying around a bear backpack. Overall though,
this was a great read that I would recommend to anyone who likes a good
thriller.
