A classic, pulse-pounding thriller from the legendary Robert K.

An elite member of America’s contemporary crime fiction and thriller royalty—a master whose work stands tall among the novels of John Sanford, Lee Child, Robert Crais, and Brad Meltzer—Tanenbaum entertains magnificently, displaying true storytelling muscle with Act of Revenge.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Just "Okay"....pretty good story line with a lot of good background 'color; but I think the author had too much going on! There were a bit too many bad-guys! I believe this was written by ghost-writer (?) Michael Gruber. I sensed this same 'over-wrought-plot-line' problem in some of Gruber's other books. #Gruber
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a thriller written by a lawyer. Wait! Come back! It's not boring like most lawyerly fiction is!Butch and Marlene, Tanenbaum's married sleuths, are back again and they're in fine fettle. I liked them when I first encountered them in No Lesser Plea quite a long time ago. They're a little Nick-and-Nora-y, but they strike out into new territory because she's got one helluva scary job: She's a protection specialist for abused women in jeopardy.Wait! Come back! It's not like a Lifetime movie, I promise!Butch and Marlene are facing off against the two scariest and cruelest entities on Planet Earth in this book. No, not Simon Cowell and Nina Garcia! The Mafia and the Chinese tongs. They poke their collective nose into what seems like a box-stock hit on a capo after their 12-year-old witnesses part of the war that led to the hit. Now she's a target, and so now it's Close to Home.It's a taut, well-made thriller, and the stakes could NOT be higher. No, you don't need to read the books in order...this one would make a great place to start, for example. Tanenbaum made the leap from book-at-a-time good to series good a while ago. This 11-year-old outing is no exception.
