Hang with this one..it gets better and better.,

This review is from: The Triggerman's Dance (Mass Market Paperback)
I think I understand why some folks gave THE TRIGGERMANS DANCE a fair review. It starts really SLOW..so slow that I was thinking about the next book I was going to read. The character's..at the beginning..are not very interesting..and the story plods along. But..as I said..near page 100 or so..I began to care about John and the FBI agent, Joshua. The story is basically about revenge and what some are willing to do to achieve it. Two men in love with the same woman join forces to bring down the guy they think is responsible for a murder and there broken hearts. Is this guy guilty or innocent? When the author introduces Van Holt, a former FBI agent things really begin to take off. The tension builds and builds. Summing up..I would say..Stay with this one.

This review is from: The Triggerman's Dance (Mass Market Paperback)
So, it's a little far-fetched, a little bit technical and ascary scenario to think about, I still liked it a bunch! Joshua, theFBI agent; and John, the unlikely sports writer turned secret agent, drew me in and kept me on the edge of my chair throughout the entire read. I enjoyed the tension between the two men--and the terrible bond that held them together. I'm happy to have discovered T. Jefferson Parker recently. Loved The Blue Hour also. Parker has the ability to capture the inner workings of his characters' minds--and besides that he can tell a mighty interesting story. I must also say I was drawn to the villain in the story. It was so very hard to hate him... I recommend this book....I really liked it.

THE EMPTINESS OF REVENGE,
By Michael Butts (Berkeley Springs, WV USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Triggerman's Dance (Mass Market Paperback)
Parker has written a very interesting and evocative thriller in THE TRIGGERMAN'S DANCE. Ultimately, it is a novel of revenge: Both John and Joshua want to avenge the accidental death of the woman they loved; Joshua also inwardly wants revenge for knowing that prior to her death, Rebecca was going to choose her lover, John and not Joshua, her fiance. Fueled by this revenge, John and Joshua work together to bring the killer to justice. A complex undercover assignment begins, with startling, if predictable results. There are times in the novel when you want Parker to hasten things along; it seems like the time John spends on the ranch is interminable, and there are times when the action slows down. Fortunately, this doesn't hurt the overall impact of the story. Parker is to be commended for allowing us to like and dislike both John and Joshua; to like and dislike the villain, Vann Holt; and to feel sorry for Valerie, Holt's daughter who ends up falling for the mole, John.This is a thoughtful, emotional novel and though not as suspenseful as some thrillers, still manages to both entertain and stimulate.
