Review by TalJB22 -- Devil in False Colors by Jack Winnick
[Following is a volunteer review of "Devil in False Colors" by Jack Winnick.]
Devil in False Colors is a thrilling, anti-terrorism story written by Jack Winnick. This book is the third installment in his five-book series, and it follows the main protagonists, Uri Levin and Lara Edmond on another adventure. It’s been a couple of years since they were last together, but Lara and Uri are both called to the Los Angeles FBI office when a horrific attack occurs at a Jewish preschool. After another couple of attacks in California involving a Jewish rabbi and two synagogues, Uri and Lara decide to pursue two separate undercover plans in order to discover who is behind it all.
As with his other books, the author had me on the edge of my seat as I read this third installment in the series. I really enjoyed catching up with characters I already knew in this story. I think that’s the beauty of a book series. The reader already knows some of the characters and can instantly connect with them again. It’s fun to see them grow and change, but it’s also enjoyable to be able to predict their reactions like an old friend.
I also appreciated the author drawing attention to the people on both sides of the conflict who wanted to do what was right. I liked that he included some ordinary people in the story who were willing to step up and do something. People of all different cultures were appalled at the terrible crimes being committed, and several people put their own lives at risk to help.
This book seemed a bit more gruesome than the others that I’ve read so far in the series. While this is to be expected considering the genre, I think that was probably what I disliked most while reading.
This is a really intriguing and well-written book. I enjoyed reading it, and I couldn’t wait to turn the page to see the next twist in the story. I only found a handful of spelling and grammatical errors while reading, so I believe the story was professionally edited. However, there is one major mistake where the incorrect character name is mentioned, and a mistake like that can really disrupt the flow of reading.
I gladly give Devil in False Colors 4 out of 4 stars. Anyone who appreciates a well-written spy novel would likely enjoy reading this book along with the others in the series. The book does delve into some frightening and disturbing topics, such as rape, murder, and the execution of children. All that said, I would recommend that this book be reserved for older audiences.
