Thank you for the review. I am a fan of fast paced thriller novels .The reviewer has given a detailed captivating review on the under cover operations, suspense, romance, and political thriller. Having gone through the sample chapters i agree with the reviewer that this is a stand alone and entertaining book to read. I am motivated to read the whole book.

This seems to be an interesting novel. Terrorism has always been a threat that destroys many lives and organization like FBI, CIA are all heroes who step up and save the day just like the case of Lara and Uri
Thanks for the unique review.

After reading through the few sample chapters, i agree with reviewer that its is an interesting novel I appreciate how the reviewer has been able to immerse a reader into the operations of this organizations and how they work tirelessly risking all to save lives, as they also go on with their normal lives ,which is almost close to impossible due to the fact that even on vacation they are called in. The suspense in the review motivates me to read the whole sequel. :)

I enjoyed reading "The Date Farm" by Jack Winnick, a thrilling page-turner that delves into the world of terrorism and international intrigue. The author's meticulous research and attention to detail are impressive, and the vivid descriptions of the Caribbean setting are a bonus. While I found the protagonists' escape from captivity a bit too easy, the book's suspenseful action, relatable characters, and realistic villains make it a compelling read. Overall, a great choice for fans of political thrillers with a touch of romance.

Jack Winnick 's "The Date Farm" explores crime, criminality and the measures taken to conquer both. Too bad that Lara and Turi's vacation had to go. They must be really good at their jobs. Congrats on BOTD. Nice review.

The Date Farm is part of the Lara and Uri series. It is an interesting, action-packed thriller that grips right from the first page. I look forward to seeing how Lara and Uri will uncover the mysteries.

I haven't read any of Winnick's books, but this one would make a great stand-alone or if I was to read the first three books. Congratulations on winning the BOTD!

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Uri and Lara will pursue the terrorists wreaking havoc in the community. Terrorism is a very sensitive topic in a book and also timely and relevant.

This sounds like an action-packed political thriller! Lara and Uri’s mission to uncover the mysterious group's motives is intriguing. The idea of infiltrating major banks and the intense teamwork among agencies makes it even more thrilling. Congrats on BOTD!

I haven't read any of Jack Winnick's books, even though they're here on OBC. I think they're categorized as like C/T/M/H, which isn't usually my gig. I'm glad I read your review - the series (or this book, at least) seems a lot more engaging than I originally gave it credit for. Might just have to check it out.

I love these books with Lara and Uri on the scene where the terrorist have attacked. They always get called in, and they always get the job done! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of "The Date Farm," to find out what happens!
