Very enjoyable

Better than the first in the series. Nice plot twists. A fun read. And more words to meet the stupid required minimum.

I read this sometime back in 2006-07 because it was in stock at the community college bookstore where I worked. Don't ask me how or why I remembered it today. I think I enjoyed it.

I read this book without reading the first one, I just happened to pick it up at a book store and didn't know there was a first book (I'm a sucker for spy novels).

The book is fresh, easy to read, paced well and fun but no real surprises. The characters are developed enough for you to care about but not too much (again, I never read the first installment). For example I never cared about the hero's girlfriend, but found the villainess of the story much more fascinating. Actually I would wish Mr. Riehl could write a book about the villainess and her training / recruitment.

My predecessors mentioned the FBI procedures, I don't know if all they are accurate or not and would not even dare to guess, but they seem logical and make sense.

I like this series, I'm just sad there are only two books. This one was written in 2005, but there hasn't been another since. Hopefully, there will be more adventures in the future for FBI agent, Puller Monk!

Outstanding

A terrific international mystery with lots of possible realistic implications.
Mr.Riehl's authentic descriptions of some of the locations let's the reader feel he is right there! Can't wait to get more in the Puller Monk series!

Spectacular! Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time and cost me several hours of sleep, no pun intended.
