This was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I could not put it down. I read these 200 pages faster than any of the last 20-30 books I have read. The plot has so many twists and turns I could not keep count of them. That, it turns out, was part of the plot of the book.
The central player, Sam Case, was put through so much that he could not keep track of everything himself. Of course, through it all, Donovan Creed was masterminding the action so there could be a happy ending for all the players that he thought to be important.
Sam Case is in the business of hiding money. He hides money for several very rich very nasty people. He has come up with a way to keep the government form finding out about billions of dollars. Most of this money belongs to mobsters, terrorists, and other people you don't want to cross like Donavan Creed ( a terrorist assassin for the government and general killer for hire). Now someone has found out and wants to pressure Sam into giving them information so they can steal all that money.
Saving Rachel A Donovan Creed Novel by John Locke is the third in the Donovan Creed series and the fastest passed yet.

Saving Rachel came to me quite by accident. I was about to go on vacation and I went to Amazon in search of a nice tight read for the beach which was not to burn a hole in my pocket. I chanced on Saving Rachel, and bought it primarily because of the reviews and then because of the price. I cannot say I regret it. it IS a good read.
It's certainly pacy, it's a mystery story, and there are enough twists and turns in the plots to keep you hooked. I did like the way the writer used his language, and how he laid out the story. What I did Not like much is his characterization. It could have been better and if he had paid attention to his characters a bit more, I would have granted another star in the rating. Saving Rachel would certainly have been placed much higher in the lists if some more time had been devoted in the development of characters.
In all, a good pacy read for a relaxed day and the money spent is well-justified.

I too was fooled by all of the 5 star ratings. Either these were planted, or this book just isn't my style. While I do enjoy a good mystery, this book just had too many chaotic and non sensical plot turns. I could not sympathize with any one character and I found the writing style to be lacking.
I also found the ending to be too abrupt, I felt like more could have been added to wrap the storyline up.
On the plus side, it was a short read and it only cost me .99.

Mind blowing twists that kept coming throughout this book. Maybe a little too many twists, but overall an excellent read.

I have read all 10 books featuring Donovan Creed and by chance I saw all the negative reviews of this book. Okay it is different, hard to believe, and has a schizophrenic pace. Read more

Pretty good writing
While the plot was just a little crazy for me, I appreciated the writing style. If you like a really wild story with crazy characters, you'll like Saving Rachel!
