Amazon.com.au:Customer reviews: The Eighth Sister: A Thriller (Charles Jenkins Book 1)

Top positive review

Intriguing to the End.

Reviewed in Australia on 12 April 2021

As a lawyer I am often fatigued from authors who focus on jury trials but I found the combination of CIA venality and its propensity to save face at any cost and to sacrifice Agents ( past & present) under the pretext of national security simply fascinating.

I enjoyed this book right up to the last page and word.

Too complicated and tedious

Reviewed in Australia on 23 August 2019

A novel of two halves... the first never believable and the second too drawn out and complex. In general not engaged by the characters or the storyline. Some of the Moscow interlude was quite thrilling but then it dwindled to a rather tedious legal drama. Disappointing as I enjoyed reading his other novels.

Le Chasseur

A great read

I enjoyed this adventure immensely. And it was an adventure in two parts: one being espionage, the other being the law case.

Both parts had the the essential element of credibility. The intrigue of the US spy network in Russia moulded into the US legal system being manipulated by the CIA.

This is a very pleasing book and I look forward to the sequel(s) with great anticipation.

An engaging series

Dugoni weaves familiar characters thru his stories while still having the ability to keep each 'episode' self contained and the plot fast paced.

Terrific read from start to finish. The conversational translations are exceptional. I did think it unusual that the Russian agent could track down a burner phone number.

Enjoyed the exitement of the Ruasian adventure and escape. Stricty a story with very different halves. The second part was cleverly written with the story line having many twists and turns.

Interesting story especially as it is advertised book one of Charles Jenkins an older and exciting character. I was lost at times and then it all became clear. Looking forward to the next book.

Two in one

I feel that I have just read two novels. One a bumbling spy thriller and the other a courtroom drama, but yes both stories mesh together perfectly. I really enjoyed this book
