Review of The Date Farm
Posted: 17 Sep 2021, 16:09
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Date Farm" by Jack Winnick.]
The Date Farm by Jack Winnik is the fourth book in a series of adventure novels. The series main characters are Uri Levin and Lara Edmond. Uri is an agent of the Israeli Mossad. Lara is an agent for both the Mossad and FBI agencies.
Uri and Lara Levin are enjoying a much-needed vacation at Lara's parent's farm in Ohio. Being a newly married couple, they wanted this time of summer leisure before leaving for Israel. Late one night, a phone call from the California FBI interrupts the serenity. Duty calls. A mass shooting at a mall in Beverly Hills brings them back into commission. While helping investigate the crime scene, they find out that the perpetrators were an Islamic terrorist group. As they wrap up their part of the investigation, they get another call revealing that another attack happened in New York City. Before they can catch their breath, they are thrown into the middle of a dramatic mission to find the leaders and motives of the terrorist group. Over multiple countries, they slowly find answers to these many questions. Will these answers put them in jeopardy? Will they be left with more questions? Who can they really trust?
I enjoyed this book very much. It was a fast-paced adventure that kept me engaged throughout the book. The author did a great job of developing the characters. Lara and Uri were characters in the previous three books. Reintroducing them in this fourth book was flawless. I felt very comfortable reading this novel as a stand-alone book. The visual descriptions made it easy to visualize what you were reading. The places, foods, people, and customs were perfect and made the plot very engaging and easy to understand. I did not find any grammar, punctuation, or spelling errors. I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I found the book to be exceptionally well edited.
There was nothing I didn't like about this novel. There were a few instances of graphic violence. People who are sensitive to this might find this uncomfortable. I recommend that this book would be a great reading experience for those who love international thrillers and crime dramas. Mature adults would find this novel captivating. Because of the graphic violence, I do not recommend it for minors 18 years and younger.
Lara and Uri are fiercely loyal to their country's law enforcement agencies and each other. The international mission was a glimpse of a world many of us never see. This book is an action-packed thrill ride that kept me on the edge of my seat.
