This review is from: Terminal 9 (McAllister Files, Book 3) (Paperback)

Then you'll like the McAllister series, and Terminal 9 is no exception. Gritty, realistic and often quite descriptive, this book explores the death of an old man which turns out not be just an accident. The story makes you feel as if you are part of the case as Mac and Dana uncover clues, interview suspects and discover body parts along the way. Mac and Dana make a good team, with none of the police detective sterotypes. They both allow each other to take charge and do thing his or her own way. They have a good relationship with a hint of romance but not so much to take away from the main story. *Note this is not a romance story so as not to scare off male readers.* I've enjoyed Patricia Rushford since reading her Jennie McGrady series and this book continues the enjoyment. And I've just discovered that my library has order book 4 of the series!

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put this book down!, February 28, 2005

By 

Marti (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Terminal 9 (McAllister Files, Book 3) (Paperback)

From the opening pages this book grabbed me and didn't let go. What makes this book a great read is the unique, detailed crime scene investigations and the interesting cast of characters. It really felt like I was there looking over the shoulder of the detectives as they worked through this complex mystery.

This is the third book in a series, staring state police Detective "Mac" McAllister. In this book, Detective Mac's not only up to his ears investigating a suspicious death, that's looking more and more like a murder, but he's also struggling with feelings for his new, and very attractive female partner. If you like the kind of book that you just can't put down, this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent mystery (as always)..., November 15, 2005

By 

Rebekah Martin (MI,USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Terminal 9 (McAllister Files, Book 3) (Paperback)

Killed a train accident, eighty-nine year old Clay Mullins death is just suspicious enough to be investigated. When Detective Antonia `Mac' McAllister and his rookie partner, Dana Bennett, begin looking deeper into the victim's life, they find a tangled web of secrets and lies.

In addition, Mac is not only dealing with his job's pressures. With his attractive partner, Dana, Mac is dealing with issues of the heart. While he has deep feeling for Dana, medical examiner Kristin Thorpe, despite her hair and sense of humor, has also caught his attention.

Terminal 9 was another good book in the McAllister Files series. Maybe it was a little slower paced then previous ones, but it still kept my attention. It was a well-written mystery and I enjoyed reading it
