Customer Reviews

A superb page turner

I first read 'Last rights', in which I thought was a great book. I then picked this one up. Well this one is even better than 'Last Rights'. The intrigue of each character made the book more and more intresting, made you want to know what was going to happen next. Holland Tylo wanted to know what really happened at Westbournes estate, she has to set the record straight because she does not want to be the scate goat. I will not give away to much, all I will say that is you will enjoy this book for its shear brillance. It is action packed, fast moving and gritty. What else do you need in a good book.

Fast moving plot with twists and turns that keep you rivited

Excellent story line with intrique and interesting characters. Holland Tylo,the woman in the book is intellegent and strong. Some of the violence is graphic but you can read quickly through those sections and find yourself caught up in the twists and turns that are probably a realistic look at the Secret Service.

Thrilling, fast-paced novel!

The novel is a fast-paced thriller. If my calculations are right, the whole story took place in just five days and four nights. It ranks way up there with David Baldacci's "Absolute Power", except that "Days of Drums" doesn't give you time to catch you breath. The reader knows immediately who the good and bad guys are because the author allows their names to come out one by one once their machinations become obvious. If this was a movie, you'd know what I mean. Only the characters don't know who the enemy(ies) is/are until the very end. Good material for a movie. I just hope Clint Eastwood doesn't do the producing nor directing or he may botch it up like he did "Absolute Power".
