5.0 out of 5 stars a 10 star special, November 20, 2003

By

Betty K. Hart (Arlington, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Romeo Flag (Hardcover)

WoW! I love good mysteries. Helen MacInnes has always been one of my favorites. Carolyn Hougan matches her in talent, plotting, and well crafted prose. My husband and I both found the characters wonderful, and the history instructional as well as entertaining. Since my husband is a history buff of both WWI and WWII, he especially enjoyed and learned from the plotting set in Shanghai.

5.0 out of 5 stars history+espionage+interesting characters, November 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Romeo Flag (Mass Market Paperback)

I'll make this short, but I wanted to let everyone know that this is a great book. I couldn't put it down and I loved how the characters came to life. The espionage part doesn't weigh the book down and the history(Russia and Shangai) makes it all the more interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars One super-sexy spy thriller, January 17, 1999

By

Kate S. Palmer (Clemson, SC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Romeo Flag (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked this book up because it is a spy thriller--a genre which I enjoy. It does not disappoint in that area (if you're not picky about the Cold War being over, and all...).

A lovely surprise is the heightening tension produced by how much the reader comes to care about what happens (or might happen) to these wonderful characters!

Before boy even meets girl, you want them to fall in love--as much for their problems as their perfections. They need each other.

A nicely complicated mystery, a terrifying chase for survival, and a really, really, REALLY sexy love story!
