Hi Loniya Chabili Mubanga, this book was hard to put down and kept me on the edge of my seat until the final page. I highly recommend it and the other 4 books in the series. Mrlefty0706

Your exploration of the novel's multifaceted elements, from the personal lives of the spies to the urgency of the plot, certainly paints a vivid picture of its unique blend of action, personal drama, and political intrigue.

In Waterworks by Jack Winnick following Lara and Uri, both of them are ready to have a family of their own until the FBI summon them over the grave matters. I love how Winnick masterfully use the real world examples in blending his fictional stories. This book can be read as stand alone given the few snippets which enable the readers to catch up with the backstory which had happened previously.

How will the terrorists go to attack the city's waterways. That's treacherous. I really hope that Lara and Uri get a hold of these terrorists. I am looking forward to reading this book. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

In the city where terrorism, war and great chaos are experienced, enemies who plan to destroy people massively try to poison people with water, and moving forward in the midst of this chaos without knowing who to trust will lead to a gripping story for our newlywed couple.

"Waterworks" by Jack Winnick masterfully elevates the terrorism genre by introducing a chilling threat – water supply poisoning. The author seamlessly weaves scientific and technological explanations into the narrative, enhancing the plot's credibility and adding a new level of horror to the story. The exploration of spies' personal lives adds depth, addressing the challenges of working undercover, starting a family, and navigating complex relationships. Nice review.

I'm attracted to this book owing to the fact that the author developed the plot in a fast pace, allowing readers the luxury of catharsis in a suspenseful storyline. Thanks for the review.

The plot twists are just awesome. The way the writer just present the situation is insane. I feel like I was there with Lara. The drama, the twist and plot makes the character more even intresting.

From what I have read in the review of the book, it didn't seem so tempting for me to read. I love and enjoy a lot reading romance and good endings, though it doesn't necessarily mean I can't accept the realities of the world, I just suffer a lot when faced with harsh drama and horror in the things I consume (could be movies, series, real-life situations, and mostly books). The reviewer has put the summary of the book in proper order and made me aware of its story; which in return, I appreciate a lot.

The dread factor in stories about terrorism is greatly increased by Jack Winnick's Waterworks. This sixth book in the Lara and Uri series finds the agents married for less than two years. Poisoning of the water supply is quite dangerous. The actual world use of science and technology makes this attack very likely. The book is interesting to read about. Review is explained in detail. But the book is fiction, and I like the part about the intimate relationships between two people who are fighting for a cause greater than themselves but still harboring hopes and feelings of forming a family. congratulations on BOTD.
