5.0 out of 5 stars Johnstone's Blood Oath - a fast pace ride of revenge., April 26, 2000

By

This review is from: Blood Oath (Paperback)

If you have read any of William W. Johnstone's books, you know he has a keen sense of humor and a sharp wit. In Blood Oath be prepared for his humor to be slimmed down to just one character: Detective Lieutenant Joe Davis. Johnson uses Joe Davis to take his readers on a fast pace, wild, and at times gut retching, ride through the brutal murder investigations.

Without giving away the major plot, Blood Oath is a super charged runaway train - packed with sexual tension, over tones and graphic detail of rape, murder and multination; all in the name of revenge.

If/when you read past the graphic details the true art of writing can be seen. Johnstone not only has a way of making words paint full color pictures, but he is a true master of "hook `em - play `em & keep `em reading."

5.0 out of 5 stars Blood Oath, December 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Blood Oath (Paperback)

if you are one of the few people who have read this book when it was first released under the title "The Initiation" then you know you are in for a good who done in mystery.

The pace of the story does go at a good clip and does lag in some parts but it quickly picks up pace again so you don't lose interest in the story.

The surprising ending is a shocker but as a 'who's the bad guy' type mystery it is well written and keeps the reader guessing.
