3.0 out of 5 stars The Laughing Falcon, June 25, 2009
Initially I picked this book up only because it's set in Costa Rica, a country that I'm interested in. it is outside of my usual genre but I did enjoy it.

A group of strangers comes together in Costa Rica as a result of the kidnappings of Gloria-May Walker, wife of a Senator, and Maggie Schneider, Canadian writer. Will they survive their ordeal? Who's on which side? There are many plot twists in this book to keep the reader entertained until the end.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Laughing Falcon, June 23, 2008
I was a bit disappointed with Bill Deverell this time. The Laughing Falcon came across as a bit of a romance novel rather than an adventure and it seemed as though it was written by a woman rather than a man. I found it drippy and boring in parts. Not enough action for me. It's still worth 3 stars if only because its written by Deverell.
