The Extraction: A Survival Thriller
An anonymous note launches ex-FBI criminal profiler Decimus Farr into a nightmare. His fiancée has been kidnapped, and Farr is given only twenty-four hours to follow and solve a trail of ten hidden clues, or she dies. Identifying the abductor could provide Farr with a vital shortcut for locating his fiancée.

Almost a good story.
Retired FBI profiler has to find his kidnapped fiancee in twenty-four hours, or she would be killed. He goes on scavenger hunt. While trying to figure out the clues, he lives his past cases. This book is like a story inside the story.

This book to me is a recipe for success. I really liked this character ex-FBI criminal profiler Decimus Farr and I enjoy a good mystery. I love when authors take me on a ride with books. I feel this book was all that and more. This book is written well and full of suspense and I think you should check it out and see how much you like it too. *This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.*

The Extraction by Steven F. Freeman might have been more deserving of its title if it had been about a dentist pulling a tooth.
Instead it was about a former FBI profiler named Decimus Farr whose fiancée had been kidnapped and would be killed in 24 hours unless Farr solved a series of obscure clues the kidnapper had hidden for him to find. The clues were written in very bad poetic verse, so my first thought was that Farr’s fiancée had been kidnapped by Hallmark.
In his 314 page hunt to find her, Farr replays his old cases in his mind for us to read, thinking that her kidnapper might be a former adversary of his seeking revenge, and who had incorporated elements of his old cases into the hidden clues.
Along the way, Farr pads his narrative with interesting insights how profilers work and some tricks of their trade. But believe me, he would have found his kidnapped fiancée a lot faster if he had factored a pathetic lack of poetry skills into her abductor’s profile.
We are told that Decimus was given the nickname Grinder because of his perseverance, but I submit that any of us with the patience to finish this book to its surprise ending deserve that same moniker. Assuming that any of us actually wants to be called Grinder.
It does not help the book’s credibility when the improbable way Decimus solves each clue is a Farr-fetched (pardon the pun) combination of intuition, luck, coincidence and revelation that seemed Farr too convenient under the circumstances.
Even though The Extraction had nothing to do with pulling teeth, I suspect the author chose the title to convey his hope that reading this novel he wistfully calls a thriller would be as nerve wracking as a visit to the dentist.
Since it didn’t come close, maybe I need to find both a better author and another dentist.

Clever plot.
The writing made me want to quit a few times because it made the book seem predictable in a way. Although I'd have never guessed who was behind the whole thing. Nope, never. Again, the blurb catch my attention so that make me give it a shot a this book. I didn't relate to the characters and it didn't make me feel anything. Let's say it didn't thrill me. I wouldn't read another one by the author. The writing style is not my cup of tea, sadly.

The right book at the right time - totally enjoyed reading this over the weekend!

When is a thriller not “just another thriller”? When it’s written by Steve F. Freeman, author of over 15 novels, and every one of them, just like The Extraction, grips readers from page one and doesn’t let them go till the last page. Even then, you won’t just put this book down and pick up something else to read. You will find yourself comparing The Extraction to others you’ve read, marvelling over its unique approach to unraveling a mystery, and weighing up the likelihood of such a totally unexpected perpetrator.
Two people are the immediate victims of this perpetrator: the first is Decimus Farr, a former FBI profiler; the second is Farr’s fiancee. What’s the best way for a deranged perp to really shake up Farr? Kidnap his fiancee, then give him only 24 hours to unravel a series of very convoluted and complicated clues to locate her before the perp kills her.
As the clock ticks away the nail-biting hours, Farr races from place to place searching for physical boxes of clues while racking his brain for memory clues to the identity of the perpetrator. Readers race along with him. Farr realizes that this perpetrator is someone familiar with the many cases on which he’s worked. Could it be a former jealous associate? Or perhaps it’s a criminal he managed to get convicted who is now free? Or maybe an angry member of that criminal’s family or gang? With each clue Farr unravels, new possibilities arise, and readers will follow Farr’s search with the bated breath that one experiences when watching an episode of the TV series, “Criminal Minds”. And it’s fans of that show who might most appreciate the clever approach that Steve F. Freeman takes in The Extraction.
I’ve have read and reviewed a number of Freeman’s books in the past couple of years and never cease to be amazed by his ability to come up with engaging action-filled novels, realistic characters, natural dialogues and logical endings to tension-filled plots, all delivered in short, easy-to-read chapters. If you’ve not yet discovered the books of Steve F. Freeman, make a point of doing so now. There are plenty to choose from, and The Extraction is one of the most riveting and satisfying with which to begin.

No Tears for My Father: A true story of incest

Thunderstruck!
Fair warning: comparisons to some of my favorite writers litter this review.
Have you ever picked up a book on a whim, read it and then wondered what took you so long to discover it? This is one for me.
Ever bargained with yourself to get more reading time because you must know what is going to happen? This is one of those books.
In simplest terms, this is a procedural thriller in the vein of Thomas Harris (the Hannibal Lechter books) without the creepy killer helping the FBI. The entire plot is in place within the first five pages. The active characters (really, four of them) are given natures that fit, and the whole narrative runs seamlessly. The "real time" story is only a part of the appeal. Much of the story is told in flashback/memory, as Grinder relives cases from his past. These cases remind the reader that Nietzsche's adage about staring too long into the abyss is true.
If I had to give a comparison to a writer most know, this is an FBI version of Lee Childs' Jack Reacher. Both men left their professions and are pulled back to a world they wanted to leave. Both men have skills that render them damaged but highly functional in ways most of us cannot fathom. Grinder is an FBI Reacher....
Why should you read this? Because those who read my reviews know that a favorable comparison to Lee Childs is a big deal. Because this story grabs on and holds you for hours, no matter how quickly you read. Because, like me, you will be thunderstruck by how great this whole experience is.

The Extraction is the story of a former FBI profiler who is dragged back into the life with "one last case" when a serial killer targets him and his partner, seemingly in revenge for the people he has locked up in the past. He is forced to relive, and reinvestigate the horrible people he had previously done, as the current criminal knows an awful lot about his previous cases.
This plot of this book is very generic, and has been done before in dozens of books and movies, but the details of the investigation itself is intriguing and at times disturbing. I found it to be a very quick read, although I never found myself engaged in the storyline, because I really didn't care about the characters. They were just generic detective novel stereotypes going through the predictable motions for me, and I just wasn't that interested.
As if my other problems with the novel were not enough, I found it was capped off by the villain in the story, who for spoiler reasons I won't describe much more. I didn't think that the author did enough to set them up with a credible reason for doing what they did, nor drop enough hints along the way. There are herrings aplenty, but when the curtain was pulled back, so to speak, it just felt too much like a gotcha moment.
Overall I thought this was a mundane, generic, if extremely detailed novel that did little to stand out from the rest.

Fast, fascinating read!
Former FBI profiler Decimus Farr (AKA "Grinder" for his tenacity in capturing perps), has 24 hours to solve the most important case of his life.: the kidnapping of his fiance, Trin. The kidnapper has hidden a series of clues inside small, coffin-like pine boxes, in and around Atlanta. Failure to find and decipher these clues will result in Trin's death. The clues are in the form of rhyming riddles. Each riddle seems to be written by a different person. Farr and his former profiling partner, Sampson, quickly ascertain the clues reference the major cases of his profiling career. Each clue leads to a review of the particulars of these cases. These stories within the main storyline will keep you turning the pages of this cleverly designed novel right up to the shocking twist at the end! While I found the writing style a little awkward at first, I quickly adjusted to the terse phrasing, because the storyline had already captured me! That's the only reason it didn't get a five. If you like reading murderous mystery thrillers, in the style of Stuart Woods, or James Patterson, you'll probably like this book.

Great story! Conflict and intrigue rachet up steadily through the entire story. The use of flashback and time limits to build tension work very well together to give the story a solid direction. The final reveal was an unexpected twist, but worked perfectly.

The extraction by Steven Freeman is the first crime/police thriller/ mystery book I’ve read and I really enjoyed it. Started a mini book club with my mum and this was our first read and neither of us ended up guessing the culprit correctly! Still really enjoyed it though!

Lots of twists and turns to keep you engaged and trying to figure out the bad guy. I had no idea until the author did. I never would have guessed!

This was a fun book to read in trying to figure out the clues while the character went through his mind on his cases. I really enjoyed this author and I look forward in reading more of his books

Action packed.
This story rushes along as the hero strives to rescue his fiancée before the deadline of her execution. Well written, enjoyed the read.

I loved this book and how it was put together! Intriguing to hear the stories from past crimes. Couldn't put it down but had to do other things. Loved it!

This is my first time rating a book that I actually finished with only 1 star. I have no idea how the average star rating is so high, unless all the reviewers are personal friends of the author.
The story is your usual psychopath being pursued by ex-law enforcement thriller. The protagonist has a number of clues to solve to locate the "bad guy", which is where my issues with this book begin. Every single clue was solved due to an epiphany. "I freeze as an epiphany explodes through my mind." "Even injured, my brain must have continued to ponder the second clue throughout the night, for the answer to the second clue, the one revealing the next box's location, appears unbidden in my mind."
The clues were either painfully obvious, to the point that you could not understand how the main character doesn't connect the dots, until of course he suddenly does. Or the clues make absolutely no sense, and he just gets lucky and happens to be standing in the right place to suddenly get it.
There are so many other logical flaws in the story that I could only focus on how the author had no idea what he was talking about. At one point the main character takes an Uber, but the author has obviously never used this service himself, because he describes the whole process in detail, yet none of what he says is how the Uber process works. While reminiscing on a prior case, the main character talks about how a criminal accepts a plea deal to avoid trial, yet the next sentence talks about how the jury struggled to come to a consensus. During a memory of another case, the protagonist mentions how he enters a single wide trailer and that it is so pitch black he has to leave and get a flashlight. After re-entering the single wide, he then goes to the living room, where floodlights had been set up making the room so bright that the flashlight was unneccessary. These are only a few examples of the many glaring issues that the book has, and they managed to completely remove me from the story.
Despite the insanely bad writing, plot holes, and nonsense, I did finish the book. Many reviews mentioned that the reveal of the villian at the end of the book shocked them. This is because the identity of the villain was completely implausible. The author tried to add some additional details into the story at the end that didn't fit with the actions of the characters within the book, in an attempt to have the reveal make sense. Those efforts only made the ending seem even more forced and ridiculous.
If you want a quick and easy thriller to read, don't read this one, there are so many other books out there that are so much more enjoyable.

I am using the author’s own precis. It is not only a good summary of the story line, it is also a good indication of the suspense the reader can expect and how well Freeman writes in this style.
An anonymous note launches ex-FBI criminal profiler Decimus Farr into a nightmare. His fiancée has been kidnapped, and Farr is given only twenty-four hours to follow and solve a trail of ten hidden clues, or she dies.
Identifying the abductor could provide Farr with a vital shortcut for locating his fiancée. But with each new clue connected to a different criminal from his past cases, which offender should he pursue?
With the window closing fast, Farr must race the clock to rescue his love…or be consumed by the madness and violence he had thought left behind.
If you enjoy shows about criminal profilers like Criminal Minds then you are sure to enjoy The Extraction.
The author doesn’t dawdle getting into the story with the opening line: Your fiancé dies in twenty-four hours reads the note.”
Farr hasn’t used his profiling skills for three years, but his former FBI profiling partner helps him solve the riddles.
Nothing is left for the reader to imagine. The scenery, actions and emotions are highly descriptive and have the reader spellbound.
The characters are well developed and likeable (well the goodies are).
The Extraction is an enthralling mystery thriller, full of suspense that has you guessing a new outcome with every chapter, but you will never guess the ending.
I have read several books by Steven F Freeman, all good but this is one of his best to date.
A very definite 5* rating from me

Ex-FBI criminal profiler Decimus Farr receives an anonymous note telling him his fiancée has been kidnapped and he has just 24 hours to solve a bunch of riddles worked into bad poetry or she will be killed. Each poem references a past case. If Farr can identify who took Trinity, maybe he can save her.
This book was a clip episode. It reminded me of the season two finale of Star Trek: TNG, where Riker relives past events as he fights off an infection. That's all this was.
The book was filled with a general outline of several cases that Farr had solved in the past. There wasn't any development of his character or anything. Not super enjoyable.

The Extraction by Freeman. I received a free copy of this book and volunteered to review it. If you want some insight into profiling, Farr is the man. His fiance. Trin, has been kidnapped and, with the help of the FBI through Sampson, he follows the clues. There is plenty of conflict (threatening neighbors) plus a look at his previous cases - could the kidnapper be one of these? And there's a time constraint - will he reach Trin in time? And the kidnapper is out of left field.

An intriguing 'who done it'
An interesting, frightening tale of murder and mayhem told in a unique and interesting way.
Although the story is of a specific and personal case, Steven has performed a remarkable feat by encompassing a varied and detailed case history as part of the plot, enhancing the story rather than detracting as I had at first feared.
Marvelous twists and turns will keep you enthralled for hours.

Unforgettable
Ex FBI profiler goes on a frantic clue driven search for the love of his life. Having followed a mysterious trail of a variety of weird clues all alluding to former profiled cases, he finally finds the perpetrator only to discover another "love of his life" is behind the whole scheme. Nail biting suspense.

I was hoping the riddles and clues were going to be more exciting than they were. You're essentially reading the main characters recollections of several cases that he worked while trying to figure out which of the suspects from his past have his fiance. Not the best book I've ever read, but not the worst. The twist at the end was surprising enough, but the pace of the book is slwo.

How improbable.
First, the use of rhyming clues has been way overworked by a variety of authors. Secondly, what are the chances that an FBI agent is readily available at her desk and can devote all her time to help an old partner to unravel those clues and solve a kidnapping? Not my cup of tea.
