sitelink info/bookreview/p This might very well be Jeffrey Deaver's best book! My only disappointment is that it's a stand alone book, not a series, Under the radar government agent Corte is an ingeniously brilliant "Shepherd" guarding a family at risk of torture and death by the equally ingenious "Lifter" Henry Loving, The subsequent cat amp mouse dual is totally mesmerizing in it's complexity and lightning pace, Note to Jeffrey Deaver: Corte is just too dynamic a protagonist to be limited to just one book! Fantastic! Most exciting, plot twisting novel I've read in ages, Highly recommend! Jeffery Deaver is an author to have grabbed my attention on many occasions, yet I never seemed to pick up his books, Last year, I decided to change that and went ahead and brought a couple of his books, My first introduction to his work was through
Mistress of Justice, and I was rather disappointed by it, Nevertheless, I was willing to give another of his books a try,
Im so glad I did,
I enjoyed Edge so much more than I enjoyed Mistress of Justice, With Mistress of Justice I experienced highs and lows, times where my attention was sucked in and times where I didnt care much for the book at all, With Edge, I did not experience this, I enjoyed Edge from the getgo, was sucked in from the very first page and found it very difficult to put down when I did put it down, I found I couldnt wait until I was picking it up again.
With Mistress of Justice I saw potential, yet Edge took all the potential I saw and delivered,
The story is an interesting one, something that sucks you in quickly, Youre constantly trying to work out the details behind the story, trying to find the answers, Every time you think youve worked something out something new is thrown in, keeping you on the edge of your seat and guessing, Theres so much action throughout, things are constantly happening, and everything leaves you wanting more,
All in all, it was a really difficult book to put down,
The one thing I wasnt crazy about was our main character, I never came to enjoy him, as I had hoped, He was an interesting character, something different to what we usually experience in such stories, but I did not care much for him at all,
Overall, this one ensured I will be reading more Jeffery Deaver in the future, PROTAGONIST: Corte, Federal protection officer
SETTING: Washington, DC Virginia
SERIES: Standalone
RATING:,
EDGE is a standalone by thriller expert Jeffery Deaver which introduced me to a few different kinds of characters than Ive met before, The protagonist of the book, Corte, is a Federal protection officer who is known as a “shepherd”, His assignments are to protect people who possess information that a criminal desperately needs, Often, the criminal will hire someone known as a “lifter” who will resort to any means necessary, including torture, murder and attacks on loved ones, to learn what the target is concealing.
In this case, the lifter is a man whom Corte has dealt with before, Henry Loving lifted information from Cortes former boss and mentor, Within less than ten minutes, this seasoned professional revealed everything that Loving wanted to know, In reality, there is no one that could manage to keep their secrets when faced with Lovings approaches to getting information,
The primary that Corte is assigned to protect is a DC police detective named Ryan Kessler, Its difficult to determine why Kessler is a target after an incident several years earlier where he performed a heroic action, most of his cases have been relatively low key.
The stakes are high Loving immediately goes after Kesslers daughter, Corte spirits the family away into safe houses however, he knows very well how difficult it is to keep Loving off the trail,
I really enjoyed the book until Deaver introduced a whole series of twists that caused the dramatic tension to lag, Corte begins to feel that Ryan Kessler is not the actual target after all as the narrative proceeds, he switches between several characters who may be the real principal that Loving is after.
I dont know about you, but I can only play the shell game a few times before I lose interest, If Ive incorrectly guessed where the pea isortimes, I no longer want to play,
On the other hand, there were some really interesting characters, Loving and Corte are like two sides of the same coin, both enigmatic and skilled at what they do, In fact, Loving seemed to me to have the edge over Corte, Unfortunately, Deaver never reveals very much about his motivations and how he thinks, Each of the members of the family group had their own troubles to deal with, Although I didnt care for a few of them, they all had their moments,
Jeffery Deaver is an author whose works I almost always enjoy, I like the Lincoln Rhyme seriesTHE BURNING WIRE which was released earlier this year was excellent, Both his series and his standalones generally introduce fresh plot points and are full of twists that baffle and confound the reader, I never know what to expect when I pick up a book by Deaver, and that is a very good thing! In this case, my reaction was mixed, I thought that the prologue a device I normally dont care for was wonderfully integrated into the first chapter, The aforementioned twists resulted in a narrative that was too long to sustain tension however, the final section of the book where Corte cleaned up loose ends and revealed some surprising personal information was excellent.
Enjoyed this fast paced thriller thoroughly, The 'twists' got a little repetitive towards the end, but still a very good read, A very weak plot gets worse as the story progresses, Characterization is poor with horrible ending, There is no 'EDGE' to this disappointing thriller, Loved this book! It was one of those that you just can't put down!! I read until I finished this last night, and it was,am when I put it down, extremely satisfied, and happy with the result! Jeffery Deaver always writes an extremely good tale, but this one was awesome!!,Stars for me. It wasn't that this wasn't a good book, it was, Corte is a new character for Deaver, not sure if we will see him again, Corte works for a shadow government agency that protects individuals from harm, He has many people that don't want him to complete his mission, Where I had issues with the book was it was wrote in first person, My least favorite tense. Eventually I got used to it and was able to get into the story, Corte came off as a loney individual and after reading the surprise ending, I got it, If you are waiting for the next Lincoln Ryhmes, then this is a good filler until then, Deaver is a masterful storyteller and I hope that we see Corte again, I am a big fan of Jeffery Deaver and this book, "The Edge,"
with Corte, who calls himself the shepherd, a protector, as the main character, this book was no exception.
Loving is a return character for Deaver and an old enemy his stories, It is not Deavers best book but as I listened to it on audio and it was easy to follow and had both action and suspense, I had a bit of confusion at first with “the lifters,” the hitters” and the cutters and what all of that meant,
It is a fast moving book and should be an easy read, but it would be easy to get mired down in the characters and the descriptions.
You can read it quickly and still enjoy the plot and the mystery of kidnappers and hit men and those who are contracted to do the “dirty jobs, ”
