5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book.., March 11, 1999
By A Customer
Just discovered Mr. Crais and I have read all his books up through Free Fall. They are all terrific but this is the best one so far. Tightly plotted, funny, and suspenseful. Love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Elvis Cole Rocks!!!, August 28, 2000
By Brett Benner (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I was turned onto Robert Crais by my Doctor who knew I was a big fan of mystery writer Michael Connelly. Like Connelly's character Harry Bosch, Crais has created a tough wise cracking LA detective named Elvis Cole. Woman want him. Men want to be him. My suggestion if you've never read him, is to start at the beginning with "The Monkey's Raincoat" and work your way through all of them. One of the greatest things about Crais' novels is Elvis' partner Joe Pike. An aviator glasses wearing silent but deadly killing machine. Think Dirty Harry with a drier sense of humor. In reference to "Free Fall", I always feel like knowing less is more when telling the plot of a mystery. The basic gist is an attractive woman shows up at Cole's office to ask him to investigate what's going on with her boyfriend who's an L.A.P.D. Officer who's been hiding something from her. He claims it's an affair. She thinks it's something deeper. Crap hits the fan, and you'll be off turning pages faster than you thought possible. Great characters, great plot twists, great writing. Long live Elvis & Robert Crais!

3.0 out of 5 stars Free Fall, May 13, 2005
By J. Ulrich "Chico Rio" (Bontoc, PI & USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Robert Crais is one of my favorite authors;I always look forward to reading one of his books. If you have never read one then don't start with this one,it doesn't have the writing quality of his other novels. It almost seemed like it was written by a Crais "wanna-be". I checked the copyright to see if it was his first Elvis Cole book,thought that might explain the lack of pizazz. As Randy Jackson would say,"It just didn't do it for me."
