Intriguing review. Not really a fan of thrillers and covet operations but the review felt like a movie trailer. It read like a great blurb.🎊

Although you didn't like the abrupt ending, I am pleased you found the book intense and enjoyable! Got my copy already; I love reading suspenseful crime thrillers! Thank you for the detailed review!

That is a great review! Waterworks is one of Jack Winnick's finest, but then it's hard to pick which one is the best. I like them all! I love the relationship between Lara and Uri.

I love the reviewer's comment that he wishes to find out if Lara and Uri have a baby together. I have the same feeling sometimes when a book ends, but on the other hand I love such open endings and let my own creativity fill in the blanks. FBI-counterterrorism thrillers: I am the right audience for those. With two main characters, one trusting one and one cautious one, it gives different viewpoints and makes it interesting.

John, I thank you for your comprehensive review of Waterworks by Jack Winnick. The idea of a polonium attack on a public water supply is very frightening. I just started to read this book. It is captivating and intense, as you described it to be.

Congrats on BOTD!
We're still amazed by Lara and Uri! Because the series is known for its counter terrorism focus, this installment sounds quite exciting. Although this book marks the conclusion of their story, these undercover operatives remain my favorites thus far.

This is the last installment in the Lara and Uri series and it deals with what would happen if we suddenly lose one of our most important life resources. Such a riveting concept! Thanks for the review, it was very informative!!

This book seems to have all the makings of a great suspense novel. Very scarce material used to poison a water supply, undercover agents in a strange country and ruthless terrorists threatening the USA provide lots of material for a gripping story. Thank you for the great review.

I'm curious about the outcome of their mission in Tehran, and it's fascinating to peruse a few pages about this group. I had no idea that this amazing novel is also part of the Lara and Uri series. Congrats on BOTD.

It is said that the world war three will happen for water. As soon as I started reading, I was entirely hooked. The idea is so good that I am worried that the terrorists might actually use it. I certainly hope they don't, of course. Congratulations for being the BOTD and all the best for any future books.

I had never even heard of polonium before this book. It must mix well with water and be an effective way of killing billions of people, though. Congratulations on BOTD!

The storyline has me hooked.This review is excellent since it gives an overall description of the narrative. I'm looking forward to reading the book because I adore thrillers. This seems to be an anti-terrorism plot, which adds to the mystery.
