5.0 out of 5 stars Fast moving plot with twists and turns that keep you rivited, August 5, 1999

This review is from: DAYS OF DRUMS (Mass Market Paperback)

Excellent story line with intrique and interesting characters. Holland Tylo,the woman in the book is intellegent and strong. Some of the violence is graphic but you can read quickly through those sections and find yourself caught up in the twists and turns that are probably a realistic look at the Secret Service.

First of Phillip Shelby's books I have read. Will read more. He is very good with his twists and turns and a lot of mystery. I also enjoyed the end were he explained everything out and you could see where you had guessed incorrectly. I will read more of his writings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb page turner, October 20, 2000

By

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: DAYS OF DRUMS (Mass Market Paperback)

I first read 'Last rights', in which I thought was a great book. I then picked this one up. Well this one is even better than 'Last Rights'. The intrigue of each character made the book more and more intresting, made you want to know what was going to happen next. Holland Tylo wanted to know what really happened at Westbournes estate, she has to set the record straight because she does not want to be the scate goat. I will not give away to much, all I will say that is you will enjoy this book for its shear brillance. It is action packed, fast moving and gritty. What else do you need in a good book.
