A Good Read that Needs to be Proofread: Books I Read in 2025, Vol. XVII

 

Book cover
THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE: A Brit in the FBI Thriller
Catherine Coulter and J. T. Ellison

FBI Special Agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine are the government's Covert Eyes  -  leading a top-notch handpicked team of agents to tackle crimes and criminals both international and deadly. But their first case threatens their fledgling team when the enigmatic and dangerous thief known as the Fox calls from Venice asking for help.

Fourth in the series, this adventure brings back a villain from the first book: the aforementioned "Fox." It's a quick-moving story, and I was three-quarters of the way through it before I knew it. On an unrelated note, I just about had a cardiac incident when I read the following un-proofread "sentence" on page 350: Ajax tooks her hand, squezed her fingers."

First Line: The light was dying, and so was Da Vinci.

Page 56 / Line 5: They took up nearly all the wall space, and he sat in the center in front of them at his solitary command post, his comfortable chair on wheels so he could easily scoot across to any of the screens he wished.

A Good Line from Somewhere in the Middle: Ten minutes later, Cassandra sat at her cypress desk, shining with the rubbed-in oil the housekeepers used that smelled of sweet oranges. [I will leave it up to you to decide whether it was Cassandra or her desk that was shining!]

Last Line: And she nodded at his small son.

  I woke up with the idea for this new blog as a way to take the place of what I used to post in a Facebook "Note". FB doesn't...
