People dying, and bodies dumped on the street in the early morning hours. All in the first few chapters. Nothing like grabbing your attention and sucking you in for the rest of the book.
I loved every page and got to the end way too fast.
Looking for a great read by the beach, or on a plane this series is for you. Well written and plenty of action to keep your attention.
I wonder how many RH has up his sleeve. I also wonder what actually goes on in the mind of a writer.

Much like R.H. Johnson's previous book (Widow-Taker), A Measure of Revenge was a fantastically written thriller. The characters and scenes are expertly developed, and the "bad" guy's thought process is absolutely chilling! A Measure of Revenge is a true page-turner from start to finish. A definite MUST READ!!!

A friend of mine recommended that I read A Measure of Revenge and I am so glad that I did. The book was incredible. I read a lot of thrillers and I can honestly say that this one proved to be one of the best. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys fast-paced thrillers - you won't be disappointed!

I really enjoyed the first book in the series, Widow-Taker, but this one was even stronger. Lots of action to keep you turning pages and some great characters. The closing scenes are terrific. I know there's a third book coming, and I'm looking forward to the continuing adventures of Detective Pete Nazareth.

Revenge is Sweet?
Once again Nazareth and Gimble are fighting the good fight. This time they are on the hunt for a man consumed with revenge. He suddenly just snaps and begins delivering dead immigrants to embassies all wrapped up and stamped with RTS. I really enjoy this authors writing and love the trouble Pete and Tara find themselves in as two powerhouse detectives with the NYPD. This book is worthy of more stars than the allotted five.

In my opinion, this was one of the best adventures of the Nazareth and Gimble series. I enjoyed the expected twists and turns of this detective thriller. I have now read several of this series of novels and this rates high on my list as a real thriller.

Good book
I like it when the good guys win and are like supermen.
I like books that could be real news. I am glad that there
Was not a lot of sex.

A Measure of Revenge
A must read in these trouble times. This book is so appropriate for what's happening now. I encourage everyone to READ.

Just read this second in the Pete Nazareth books. A fun time watching the two heroes tracking this latest NYC bad guy. Once again Johnson picks a timely topic and follows it to a rousing conclusion highlighted by a chase through Central Park. The last page points toward a coming third book. I can hardly wait...
