Ryan-Hunter #2
Cliffs of Monaco
Karen Donahue and Tom Donahue again lead readers along the Italian Riviera into a labyrinth of mystery and suspense with their latest novel, Cliffs of Monaco.
An American billionaire’s face pales while he reads the card handed to him by a stranger–it is an announcement of his own death sentence. In a world of powerful billionaires who bend the rules to their advantage, the Equal Justice League’s mission is to root out the worst of these corrupt individuals, try them in absentia, and sentence them to death. Billionaires are sentenced and executed in Paris, Florence, London, Moscow, and Portofino.
Criminology professor, Marin Ryan, and computer expert, John Hunter, are enjoying the sun, serenity, and a fast Ferrari on the Mediterranean coast. A friend from the CIA asks them to decipher the League’s website that has appeared briefly after each of the previous murders. This apparently benign involvement in the case puts the couple at serious risk. While readers escape into the world of palatial villas and penthouses, luxurious yachts, and exotic cars, the couple attempts to escape the ruthless killers.

Boring
Poorly written... couldn't stay with it. My interest seemed to fade with each page until my eyes got heavy and I had to stop.

Karen and Thomas Donahue are great authors. Assassin In Monte Carlo had more action than some of their other 2 novels I have read. It kept me interested from the first page to the ending. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good fast moving story. I will be reading more books by these authors.

Great mystery! Kept me in suspense until the end. It was fast-paced and quite funny at times. This is an awesome series with vivid descriptions of the areas that they travel to, making the reader want to visit and see the sights in person.

Interesting enough story. The dialogue sucked. Needs a good editing.

One of the best books I've read in years. Having cruised the Italian Riviera a few years ago I felt like I was there again. A great thriller, a great cast in the most beautiful of settings.
