This sounds like an intriguing read. Politics and terrorism mixed in one and both them surely are a sensitive topic. Congrats on BOTD.

As the review mentioned that the real fiction is that which is based on a fact. Jack Winnick has done a spectacular job of weaving these complexities into the narrative. The layers of fiction and fact to bring out the complexity of geo political instability and situation is a hard task to achieve. I have read his books and I love them all. Everything you mentioned in the review is there in the book. Can't wait to complete the series.

Quick activity, engaging, and a genuine romantic tale as well. It's great overall and definitely worth five stars. I prescribe it to anybody who needs to go on a ride of rushes and chills!

Congratulations on the BOTD. This book highlights some of the most pressing geopolitical issues. The couple Lara and Uri are engaged in solving one of the heinous terror crimes that has taken the lives of schoolchildren. The book discusses some other international issues also that are obvious. A great book.

Book 3 on the Lara and Uri series. It is as thrilling and exciting as any of the other books written by Jack Winnick. The brutal scene with the children is unsettling and sad. However, it is probably not far from the truth when you see similar atrocities committed on children by terrorists. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Winnick expertly weaves real-world political tensions into the fabric of Devil in False Colors. The preschool massacre kicks off an exciting thriller fueled by religious extremism and geopolitical scheming. Winnick's nuanced handling of complex dynamics between Israel, Iran, and more immerse the reader in the high stakes. Protagonists Lara and Uri have an appealing chemistry as they navigate the dangerous investigation. The novel mixes action, intrigue, and just enough heart to satisfy thriller lovers. Winnick's firm grasp of global conflict makes for a believable and insightful page-turner.

I have already read the book *Devil Among Us* by Jack Winnick. I have also read the third novel in the Devil in False Colors series written by him. The geopolitical perspective is the best feature of this novel. It is a work of blending fiction with reality. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I give this novel 5 out of 5 stars.

Jack Winnick series is one I enjoy read. The character development is one aspect I like. Standing up against something as powerful as terrorism is tough. Lara and Uri's love story is one I enjoy in the book too.

Hi @Bobbie Wolf, I just read your comments on "Devil in False Colors" BOTD official review and I understand how you feel. It was a shocker for me as well but I assure you that the book is excellent and I highly recommend it and the other 4 books in Jack Winnick's series. I think he wrote the first chapter to get readers attention regarding the atrocious and hideous crimes committed by terrorists against innocent people. The current fighting between Israel and the Palestinians backed by Hezbollah and Iran show how Israel will go after terrorist that kill innocent Jews including the babies they killed when they invaded Gaza. Winnick's books are fiction but the atrocities could happen. @Mrlefty0706

"Devil in False Colors" by Jack Winnick dives into a gripping narrative, blending a tragic event with geopolitical complexities. The novel's strength lies in its portrayal of historical events, deftly woven into a fictional plot. The exploration of religiously motivated terrorism, Iran's nuclear threat, and Russia's involvement adds depth, making it a compelling read for those intrigued by international affairs. Nice review.

A thought-provoking review, thank you. In light of the current religiously motivated terrorism: Winnick's controversial subject matter could be difficult for some to read, however, it appears from the Amazon sample that the storyline is solid with Lara and Uri taking centre stage. Jack Winnick's in-depth knowledge of geopolitics is unsurpassed. Congrats on #BOTD.
