Title: Too Unbelievable!
Product review: In Masquerade, Lynds' first thriller, she shows some potential and some similarity in style to Robert Ludlum. Overall, however, Masquerade is a book in which I was disappointed and would not recommend. While I am usually willing to suspend belief to a degree in international thrillers, Masquerade just goes out of the stratosphere in this dimension. It's plot, characters and ending are very unbelievable and the dialogue is too corny and unrealistic. On the plus side, Lynds manages to keep the story moving along at a brisk pace and made me want to finish the book to see how it ends. For this reason and her similarity in style to Ludlum, I plan to read at least one of Lynds' more recent works to see if she has grown in her writing skills. Although I did not enjoy Lynds' first attempt as a writer of international thrillers, she demonstates enough potential to warrant a second chance.
