This book grabbed my attention from the start. I was dismayed it was the fourth in a series because I really dislike starting on the 4th book. However, the review is compelling evidence that this book can be read as a standalone. It is also encouragement to go back and read the other books. The review makes this book sound really interesting and worth the try!

Why I want to read this book; 1. It's a suspenseful page turner, and 2. It falls on one of my favorite genre, crime and mystery. The review is insightful and fascinating. Thank you.

I have been looking to acquire some new installments in the thriller genre. I'm pleased to see that this is part of a series, but also stands on its own (This means even more books to hoard if i end up liking this one, WOO! :D ) I'm also interested in expanding my experiences of books, and this sounds like something that is outside my comfort zone. I'm curious to see what this will be like. Thank you for your review about character development and plot! I like a strong character driven story with a fair bit of action and suspense. I think this might be a really interesting new read for me when I work through more of my TBR list.

This is not a genre I like to read and it reinforces stereotypes. Too bad because the plot is complex and the pace is fast.

RE: Official Review of The Date Farm by Jack Winnick is a very succinct piece of writing that just makes you want to read the book! Cecelia_L summarizes the story, plot and characters so neatly that I felt I was already reading the book and caught up in its action.
Well done. This brilliant review has made me change my mind from not wanting to read the book to wishing there was a copy on my bedside table.

I don't usually read thrillers, but the characters in this one sound like real, relatable people. Thanks for your review!

With as much as I love reading thrillers, The Date Farm by Jack Winnick doesn't seem to be one of those thrillers that I will love to read. However, I will recommend it. Nice review.

A book on terrorism, which although it tells a story of fiction, has much to do with current reality. It seems to be full of action and suspense, so it is recommended to readers who enjoy international thrillers.

Sounds like a great thriller. It's also terrific to hear that a good story, well-told, isn't let down by grammatical mistakes and poor editing. Great review!

I love suspense thrillers and am particularly pleased with the fact that neither of the pair tried to prove themselves to anyone. I'd like to see how the couple balanced working together for different agencies with their own private lives. Thanks for the riveting review.

An international thriller which involves the combating of terrorism is interesting.

Thank you for the great review.
