Great review! I will keep an eyes out for this book for my upcoming book review. I have heard of this series by Mr. Winnick and I will love to indulge.

Post by Nada Renno »

The book showcases impressive action and storytelling, but it’s not quite my favourite due to its focus on political violence and terrorism, especially with its clear ties to real-world events. While I can appreciate the genre and the intensity it brings, the explicit connections to recent events made it a bit challenging for my taste.
Thank you for the review.

The forth book from series, about which I know zero just as well anything what has transpired in previous three books. Currently I don't have time to research it, so unfortunately, I will have to skip reading this one. Congratulations and deepest apology.

Jack Winnick's "The Date Farm" vividly brings to light the many-sided activities involved by investigative organizations in bringing the bad boys to book and restoring peace to the communities.
Congratulations on BOTD.

Another massacre to open this instalment of the series from Winnick and grab your interest. Having only read the excerpts it was good to understand how Uri and Lara’s relationship has developed.

Jack also mentions that while many parts of the book are fictitious, the hard work and stress these organizations put into finding these people are not. This information made reading the book more fun for me.
I believe that most science fiction books/movies/cartoons/animes show us what really happens. We should view them as documentaries.

I'd enjoy reading how the Homeland Security, the CIA, FBI, and other investigative agencies worked together in this book.

A 5-star read, praised for meticulous research, vivid descriptions, and relatable characters. Perfect for fans of political thrillers and action-packed mysteries.

This sounds like a great crime thriller with a steady pace. I like that you could tell the author put a lot of work into researching the topic. It always helps for the story to be accurate and realistic. Great review!

"The Date Farm" by Jack Winnick is an engaging political thriller. Beginning with the bomb explosion at the mall to the combined investigation of the CIA, FBI, Homeland Security and other investigative outfits, the book affirms the negative impact of terrorism and the dedicated service of Lara Edmond and Uri Levin. This book is a sure must-read. Thanks for the review.

Uri and Lara are now married. They are asked to fight crime once more. I enjoy this political thriller as it feels so real--clearly there's been so much research around this captivating book.

This sounds like an entertaining book to read. I'll admit, I have a soft spot for husband/wife action books and movies. The dynamics of a couple working together against a common enemy draws me right in!
