I haven't read any of the books in the series and I'm more of a romance genre kinda person, but from the sample and glowing reviews I just read, I'll definitely try out international thriller, starting with this particular book.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller novel about a pair of anti-terrorism government agents, Uri and Lara, tasked with investigating a terrorist attack at a Beverly Hills mall and preventing a future attack on US soil. It seems to be worth another look. Well done.

The review is good. Collect interesting facts to decide whether or not to read the book.
Personally, I believe that the relationship between the United States and Israel already lacks originality.

I've realized that there's no villain in life. everyone will belong to one group or the other, and both groups will have a cause. what distinguishes you is whether the group you join is for the right cause or wrong cause. The funny thing is those perceived to be villain, if asked will try to convince that their cause is worth fighting for!

There is sabotage in US communications. after an incident of terrorism in a shopping center. Lara and Uri must discover the culprit and prevent them from continuing to endanger the country. The Date Farm by Jack Winnick is a great book to follow terrorism cases full of action #BOTD

The terrorist's attack in this book was very realistic. The shooting and killings in a shopping mall was very scary. It turned an ordinary and relaxing place into a place of horror. Good thing Lara and Uri were om the case, because as the book continued on, they are the best of the best. Thanks for the review.

Jack Winnick's "The Date Farm" is another action-adventure spy series that explores the complexities of heroism and sacrifice. The book also explores the challenges involved in balancing their personal and professional life of main characters. Detailed editing ensures a great reading experience. The thought-provoking narrative, places and characters make it a exciting read. Most importantly the plot of the book explores factor about perceptions as you say in your review, about villains and heroes.

It's so interesting to see Lara and Uri. Their cozy life as a married couple is shattered when they are assigned to a new case. As this can be read as a standalone, it's also perfect for those who haven't read the other books.

I really like to read about spy agencies' day to day functioning and The Date Farm provides exactly this. Reading about MOSAAD and FBI gives me goosebumps

“The Date Farm” by Jack Winnick is his 4th incredible book in the Lara and Uri 5-book series. This fictional, but very possible, terrorist attack occurs in a Beverly Hills shopping mall where more than 100 innocent shoppers are killed and hundreds more were injured by a group of terrorists that opened fire on the unsuspecting crowd. Meanwhile, the security of the Dept. of Defense and DHS was breached and the Federal Reserve and Chase Manhattan were also attacked. I highly recommend all five of Winnick’s well-written action thrillers. Hold onto your seat, this book will be hard to put down. Very good review.
