Review of Devil Among Us
This book illustrates to readers the lengths these so-called terrorists will go to inflict harm. As the book's title implies, we are uncertain of who is indeed our friend and who is a fake. Devil Among Us by Jack Winnick is the second book in the series. You shouldn't worry that you won't understand it, as it can be read as a standalone
The book opens with a terrorist attack on a Brooklyn synagogue. Lara Edmond, an FBI special agent, and Uri Levin, a Mossad operative, are the two key characters in the story. They had gotten close while working together some years prior. Despite the fact that they hadn't spoken or seen one another for a while, neither of them had forgotten what they had done together. They begin the narrative in Brooklyn before moving on to Waco, Texas. Although they know that fake papers are involved, they are not yet certain how the two locations are related. So the mission takes them to a number of other locations to figure out what is actually happening in the background.
Where Lara and Uri are involved, for me, is where I most enjoyed the novel. It makes no difference if they are cohabiting, living apart, pursuing careers, or discussing their personal lives. They both take their work extremely seriously and are highly hardworking. In their respective fields, they are both held in high regard. When not working, they have a wonderful rapport and a good sense of humor. They are so respectful of one another and can connect without even speaking, which I find amazing. And last, I hate it when a book ends with more questions than answers. Thankfully, this book avoids doing that. In the end, questions are resolved, and everything makes sense.
The Middle East and all of its political tenets are well-known to author Jack Winnick. Because of how extensive the story's description is, I had no trouble seeing the landscape and surroundings, as well as the buildings he mentioned. The manners, attire, and individuals all sprang to mind. It caused me to experience the horror, the fear, the evil, and the darkness, as well as the humor required in situations of complete panic. I highly appreciate Jack for putting me through this experience.
There was nothing about this book that I didn't like. Throughout my reading of the book, I found no errors. This demonstrates that it was exceptionally well edited. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys adventure, detective fiction, or crime thrillers. Since there was nothing I disliked about this book, I'm giving it a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
