I was intrigued by the sample and look forward to reading further. Anything to do with Israel fascinates me, and with one of the characters apart if the Mossad was very interesting to me. Congrats on BOTD!

The thing about law enforcers shown in media like movies, is that either they don't care much or care too much. The one man at it alone, which is often a bit cringey to watch. That there are characters that "lack the typical bravado" in a meaningful sense sounds like enjoyable characters to read about.

I love how The Date Farm is able to stand out on its own! I have been watching NCIS more recently, so I am able to recognize what Mossad is. The only thing that puts me off a bit is that it is fast-paced. Other than that, it sounds very promising!

The main characters sound interesting, agents of husband and wife, really my thing. Judging by the review, this thriller sounds different than any other thrillers. I'll definitely add this book in my shelves. Thank you for the review.

Thanks for the excellent review! This book sounds like a real page-turner. A husband and wife working together in the fight against terrorism put an added edge to the excitement of an international thriller. I'm not much of a fan of this genre but I must say this book sounds exciting!

I love fast-paced thrillers, the ones that keep readers on the edge of their seats. I am looking forward to meet the couple who work as agent as they search and destroy the terrorists. Congrats!

I am so glad this is able to stand alone, I do prefer it when I don't have to catch up on anything first. That being said though, I will still probably get the other 3 as I do enjoy my fast-paced thrillers. Thank you for your review.

A fast-paced thriller centered on terrorist activities. A well-developed cast of characters and a realistic storyline are the plus points for the book. Thank you for the detailed review.

The book would be an insightful one, the type I would live to read as it contains realistic events feasible ways of fighting out problems relating to insurgents and terrorism.. Going through the review, I will say the author must have done a great job. Good job!.

I was surprised how fast paced it started. I only read a bit, but I think I want to continue to see what happens. Your review has convinced me to try it as a stand alone. Thank you!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting crime/thriller novel following an FBI agent and her husband as they are not the trail of who attacked a mall. Well done.

Even though I do not look forward to reading the book since it does not fall among the genres that I love; I must say that yo wrote a beautiful review. Many thanks for the good work.

Fantastic and informative review! I might give this book a try seeing as I am curious how the author would bring real world problems into a fictional world.
