Point Blank by Catherine Coulter


From Barnes and Noble:
"The tenth installment of Catherine Coulter's FBI saga (Blowout, Blindside, et al.) may be her most action-packed, psychologically intense thriller to date. As husband-and-wife agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock are faced with the most intimately frightening case of their careers (apprehending a psychopath obsessed with evening the score with Savich for some long-ago injustice), FBI special agent Ruth Warnecki is busy trying to unravel the bizarre mystery of a murdered music student found in a rural Virginia cave."
Coulter had two seperate story lines going on this time, they had nothing to do with one another. It should have been a mess and it should have been confusing, but somehow it wasn't. She had a nice blend of the both. If she had done a book per mystery it would have gotten boring at some point. But since she played them both at the same time, it didn't get bogged down.
When we first meet Dix, he seems old. He seems like he's too old to be in this series. Still in the end of this he seems like an old soul. Could be the grief, could be the perpetual confusion he seems to be in.
Ruth is very independant. She doesn't place herself in the middle of Dix's family, but somehow she ends up there. Their relationship isn't the type that either person will just simply DIE without the other, but it works.
I LOVED the scene when Savich and Sherlock get in a fight. I thought he was being a total pig about the whole thing.
This was a pleasant book. For some reason it took me longer to get through it than it should have. I'm not sure if my mind just wasn't fully engaged or what.
