I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It is a well-written and well-paced thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed reading; however, violent and graphic fight scenes make this book inappropriate for young readers. I recommend it to mature readers who appreciate page-turning, suspenseful intrigue

Hi @Martina Sette, I just read your comments on the official review of "Devil Among Us" and I hope you do read this well-written geopolitical story by Jack Winnick. I have read all five of his terrorist series and I highly recommend all five of them. The action, the chemistry between Uri and Lara and the worldwide impact if the killers are not brought to justice all make the story one that is hard to put down after chapter 1 until the last page of the book. @Mrlefty0706

Action stories are better to be viewed rather than read. For this book, I could not imagine all the scenes that are explained in my vision. For me, it was ok kjnd of experience. However it is all subjective.

A bombing incident rips through NewYork City Synagogue. Hundreds are killed and injured. FBI agents Lara and Uri come together to investigate and uncover the terror plot. As the mystery unfolds more and more questions arise. Is there a plot to stop US from helping Israel. Read the book to know.

What a captivating suspenseful thriller! The author has a well developed story, he displays a detailed knowledge of the Middle East that he explains in the story. I liked how captivating the story is, and the different perspectives that the author used to tell the story. Thank you for a great review

Yes, I agree with your notes. One of the catching moments is when; A bombing incident rips through a New York City Area, many lives were buried. Your review touches most part of the book.
Thank you for your time in developing a meaningful book summary.

Latest Review: The Unfakeable Code® by Tony Jeton Selimi

Post by Upasana Vidish Purohit »

Devil Among Us by Jack Winnick seems like a power-packed mystery and thriller in the Lara and Uri series. The Blast tore through the New York City Synagogue. Lara, a special agent with the FBI who is also a member of the Joint Terrorist Task Force, leads the case. From the title, it seems that the terrorist attack was done by a known person from Synagogue. I am curious to know how the investigation leads to the conclusion. Very detailed and interesting review.

A bombing incident ripples through the New York City synagogue. Lara and Uri team up to find the culprit. Initially, members of the synagogue were suspected, but Iran’s role and haters who did not like the USA's aid to Israel and Islamic terrorists are among the other suspects of this terrorist activity. Your review highlights the author's ability to seamlessly integrate flashbacks into the plot to add character depth to the characters. I really appreciate the author for that. Even minor characters have importance in this book, which is a great feat achieved by the author. Thanks for writing a review that revealed the plot and the storytelling ability of the author.
