Title: A slow and laborious read
Review: I had never read a Coyle novel and seeing that he was a graduate of VMI I was intrigued enough to pick it up. What a mistake. The dialogue is tortuous to read. Additionally, for the author to get the story to where he wants to go the reader must accept many illogical assumptions put before her from beginning to end. One of the most annoying character developments is that of Jan Fields. Some how we're to believe this woman is the greatest mother, wife, reporter, and patriot the world has ever seen. I would like to have seen at least one character flaw or two in her, or in one of the other "good guys" in this drawn out scenario. Instead, they're all saints and the sinister governor and his conniving attorney general are all evil.My recomendation: Don't bother picking it up. Perhaps some of his other books are enjoyable and worth the time, but I won't be taking any chances any time soon.
