"Waterworks" by Jack Winnick is book five in the series about Lara and Uri; however, it is a standalone story. It is a fast-paced novel that gets the reader’s attention from the first page and keeps them enthralled until the end of the tale. Jack Winnick is “Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering at Georgia Tech” and has “a lifetime of scholarship on Middle East affairs.” Subsequently, he is uniquely qualified to write this book. I loved the other books so I'm looking forward to reading this one. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

**Book Review: Waterworks: (Lara and Uri, #5) by Jack Winnick**

Jack Winnick’s *Waterworks* is the fifth installment in the gripping Lara and Uri series, continuing the thrilling adventures of FBI agent Lara Edmond and her partner, Mossad agent Uri Levin. Known for its intense plotlines and detailed depiction of espionage, this novel is no exception, delivering a riveting narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

In *Waterworks*, Lara and Uri face their most perilous mission yet, involving a terrorist plot targeting the U.S. water supply. Winnick expertly weaves a tale of suspense, where the stakes are extraordinarily high, and the consequences of failure are catastrophic. The plot is meticulously constructed, with twists and turns that maintain the suspense throughout the novel. Winnick’s ability to blend factual geopolitical issues with fiction adds a layer of realism, making the story not only engaging but also thought-provoking.

Lara and Uri's characters are further developed in this installment. Lara’s resilience and determination shine as she navigates the complexities of the investigation, while Uri’s resourcefulness and tactical skills are showcased in high-stakes scenarios. Their chemistry is palpable, with moments of tension and tenderness that humanize them amidst the chaos of their mission. Winnick’s portrayal of their partnership is nuanced, balancing their professional dynamics with personal undertones, adding depth to their characters.

The novel’s pacing is relentless, with action sequences that are vividly described and heart-pounding. Winnick’s attention to detail in these scenes enhances the authenticity of the story, making the reader feel as though they are part of the action. Additionally, the book's settings, from urban landscapes to covert operation sites, are well-described, adding to the immersive experience.

One of the strengths of *Waterworks* is Winnick’s ability to address contemporary issues within the framework of a thriller. The concept of water terrorism is both innovative and alarming, reflecting real-world vulnerabilities. This topical relevance adds an extra layer of intrigue and urgency to the narrative.

However, some readers might find the intense focus on action slightly overwhelming, with character development occasionally taking a backseat. Additionally, the technical jargon related to espionage and counter-terrorism might be challenging for readers unfamiliar with the genre.

Overall, *Waterworks* is a compelling addition to the Lara and Uri series, showcasing Jack Winnick’s mastery in crafting a high-stakes thriller. It is a must-read for fans of the series and those who enjoy fast-paced, realistic espionage novels.

Coolio! I never expected to see so many titles under the same character cast. I read up a bit on their story and I'm smitten with intrigue. I think their experience makes up for the quick information leaks and action sequences and I don't mind it much. It was such an amazing read. You detailed it in a way that piqued my deepest interest. Thanks!

[Rebecca De Figueiredo]

Thank you for the simplified synopsis of the book, reviewer. I always think that Winnick’s Lara and Uri books would be good as a series. As usual this gripping page turner will easily kill a few hours at the weekend.

Finally a suspected terrorist plot that doesn't involve explosive and over-the-top stuff. This one is subtle and something that could easily happen in real life. How will the mystery of the poisoned water be solved? Read to find out.
