Summary: By page 300 I had lost the will to live........
Comment: I used to enjoy reading this series, but the last few have been so incredibly weak that I have to ask, "WHAT HAPPENED?"
The ridiculous plot is only outdone by the truly AWFUL dialogue. (Granted my life is relatively sedate, but I have never met people who warranted that many exclamation points in real life.) The characters are unbelievable and the ending seemed more like a cartoon than a mystery novel. ...

Summary: Waste of time and paper
Comment: This story's setup and most of the minor characters are actually somewhat interesting. However the "villians" are lame and the two protagonists (Lazarus and Decker) are annoying. The book's cover and early chapters suggest that the author may weave some interesting historical or religious facts into the story so that the reader at least learns something - but no. And the plot goes, well not exactly nowhere, but it's hardly engaging or believable.
Instead of putting my copy in the box of stuff to be donated, I put it the recycle bin - I couldn't bear even indirectly being responsible for someone else suffering through it.

Summary: A better offering than the previous book. Some major flaws.
Comment: First, let me get a pet peeve off of my chest regarding this author. It seems that in almost every book she has some personal bias against others yet at the same time she wants the reader to believe that she has all the answers to to the eternal questions of every countries standing against the Holocaust.In this book there comes a point where she has the main character (Rina) speaking about Poland's part during the Holocaust. I should say the Polish peoples part in the Holocaust. Not the Germans who invaded Poland.
Ms. Kellerman states that the Polish people basically rolled over and joined the Germans terror of the Jews. This is not true. I am a descendant of a family that lost a four people in my immediate to the Nazis.
My grandmother and her mother escaped to Switzerland during the Holocaust. My grandmother lost her father and three brothers in the Holocaust. They were Polish Catholics. Her brothers died fighting the Germans. Her father died in a concentration camp in Germany.
Let's not forget that many other non-Jews gave thier lives to fight Hitler also.
O.K. this book was much better than the last one. It did run on a bit with the differing plots and such. I thought having the killers involved in racism and the SAT scandal was a bit over the top. All in all, aside from my personal pet peeve which brought the story down alot for me personally, I would give it a C. I would also like to add that I really enjoy learning about the Jewish religion. It is fascinating to me. I also wished there was more of a story with Peter and Rina's home life. I love to read about that.
