Summary
12 hours
Agents Savich and Sherlock are back in the latest installment in Catherine Coulter’s number one 'New York Times' best-selling FBI Thriller series， and this time both are enlisted to help women with traumatic pasts who are in mortal danger。
When she was twelve years old， Kirra Mandarian’s parents were murdered and she barely escaped with her life。 Fourteen years later Kirra is a commonwealth attorney back home in Porte Franklin， Virginia， and her goal is to find out who killed her parents and why。 She assumes the identity of E。N。—Eliot Ness—and gathers proof to bring down the man she believes was behind her parents’ deaths。 She quickly learns that big-time criminals are very dangerous indeed and realizes she needs Dillon Savich’s help。 Savich brings in Special Agent Griffin Hammersmith to work with Lieutenant Jeter Thorpe， the young detective who’d saved Kirra years before。
Emma Hunt， a piano prodigy and the granddaughter of powerful crime boss Mason Lord， was only six years old when she was abducted。 Then， she was saved by her adoptive father， San Francisco federal judge Ramsey Hunt。 Now a 12-year-old with a black belt in Tae Kwon Do， she narrowly saves herself from a would-be kidnapper at Davies Hall in San Francisco。 Worried for her safety， Emma’s entire family joins her for her next performance， at the Kennedy Center in Washington， D。C。。 Sherlock and officers from METRO are assigned to protect her， but things don’t turn out as planned…

This ARC came from Goodreads and am glad it did。 I was introduced to an author whose works I had not previously read and now look forward to reading more of。 I found in this volume some exciting characters as well that will keep me turning pages as I read other books in the Savich/Sherlock series。

Reckoning by Catherine Coulter is the 26th book in her FBI Thriller series。 Agents Savich and Sherlock， who I always enjoy， are the leads in Reckoning; which has two mysteries， with each involved in， though as we get later into the story， Savich will play a big part in Sherlock’s story。 Kirra Mandarian saw her mother and father murdered 14 years ago， managing to escape to safety。 Kirra lived in Australia with her uncle， who brought her up， and now in present time， she returns to the scene of the Reckoning by Catherine Coulter is the 26th book in her FBI Thriller series。 Agents Savich and Sherlock， who I always enjoy， are the leads in Reckoning; which has two mysteries， with each involved in， though as we get later into the story， Savich will play a big part in Sherlock’s story。 Kirra Mandarian saw her mother and father murdered 14 years ago， managing to escape to safety。 Kirra lived in Australia with her uncle， who brought her up， and now in present time， she returns to the scene of the crime in Porte Franklin， Virginia。 Kirra is smart， savvy and trained in self-defense; she is now an assistant prosecutor， and is determined to find out who killed her parents; taking on a secret identity （Eliot Ness）， she sends information to the police and prosecuting lawyers with information that would convict the villain; she also sends the paperwork to Agent Dillon Savich， whom she knows will be able to help。Emma Hunt， a piano prodigy， was only 6 years old when she was kidnapped， but her father and mother saved her。 Now at 12 years old， Emma manages to save herself from another attempt to kidnap her。 Agent Sherlock， who has been friends with Emma’s mother， decides to spend time watching and protecting Emma， especially， with a performance being scheduled at Kennedy Center， in Washington， D。C。 What follows is a non-stop exciting and intense adventure with two different cases。 Both cases escalated， with many twists and surprises， which is another reason not to reveal these spoilers， so not to ruin the book。 I love Savich and Sherlock， even when they worked separately; they are a fabulous couple and super agents。 I really thought Kirra was a fantastic character， as she was fearless to find the truth about her parent’s death， as well as working closely with Savich， Agent Griffin Hammersmith and the local detective Jeter。 With Emma on close watch， the criminals decide to change the game， and manage to kidnap the mother and Sherlock; this will bring Savich into this mystery。Reckoning was an exciting thriller from start to finish， and even if it was tense at times， as I was unable to put the book down from start to finish。 Catherine Coulter once again gives us a fabulous story， with wonderful characters， including evil villains。 Reckoning was a fast-paced， exciting， intriguing， suspenseful mystery。 If you like suspense， mysteries， espionage， especially in the world of FBI， I wholly suggest you read Catherine Coulter。BarbThe Reading Cafe 。。。more

I got an ARC from Goodreads。 I found this book contrived， boring， and ridiculous。 The dialogue was tedious and the characters were flat。

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review。I am a big fan of the Savich/Sherlock books by Catherine Coulter， but this one missed the mark for me。 The plot felt messy and there were so many characters to keep track of。 This story references events that took place in a much earlier book （that I did not read） so I always felt like I was missing a little something。 I rolled my eyes at the dialogue several times - it was beyond light banter - nearly just plain ridiculous。I did enjoy the Kirra I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review。I am a big fan of the Savich/Sherlock books by Catherine Coulter， but this one missed the mark for me。 The plot felt messy and there were so many characters to keep track of。 This story references events that took place in a much earlier book （that I did not read） so I always felt like I was missing a little something。 I rolled my eyes at the dialogue several times - it was beyond light banter - nearly just plain ridiculous。I did enjoy the Kirra plot line and character and would be happy to see more of her in the future。 。。。more

Honestly， I could not stand this book and couldn't finish it either。 I liked it well enough in the beginning。 I thought the dialog was so corny most of the time。 It seemed like so much of the book was characters being introduced to other characters with endless descriptions of who they are。 That and the constant you're the famous FBI agent， or couple， the famous uncle from Australia over and over again。 I mean how many times can you read that？ It's boring and its old。 Thank you to goodreads for Honestly， I could not stand this book and couldn't finish it either。 I liked it well enough in the beginning。 I thought the dialog was so corny most of the time。 It seemed like so much of the book was characters being introduced to other characters with endless descriptions of who they are。 That and the constant you're the famous FBI agent， or couple， the famous uncle from Australia over and over again。 I mean how many times can you read that？ It's boring and its old。 Thank you to goodreads for the Advance Reader's Edition of the book and thank God I didn't have to pay for it。 。。。more

I received an advanced reader copy of this book。I really enjoyed this book。 There are quite a few characters and two stories taking place at the same time so you do need to read where each chapter is taking place。The two mysteries did keep you guessing until the end。 Lots of twists and possibilities lead to an enjoyable read。

I won my copy of Reckoning from a Goodreads giveaway。 This is the first book I have read by Catherine Coulter and I really enjoyed it。 The dual story lines kept me reading to find out what was happening in the each。 The only thing I found objectionable was the spurts of name dropping and Australian words and phrases， because it seemed forced or as a filler。 I did like the style of writing， and will read more books with these characters。

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway。 Agents Savich and Sherlock get involved with a child piano prodigy kidnapping。 Introduced to us is Attorney Kirra Mandarian with her own agenda to find out who murdered her parents when she was 12。 Two stories at one time blend well。 All characters and plots are well developed。

This is one of my all time favorite series。 With each release I look forward to finding out what and who Sherlock and Savich are chasing next。 What kind of trouble they can get into and all the new characters we get to meet。 It is never short of suspense and bad guys who think they are so much smarter。 I look forward to more of this series and encourage everyone to click this one。

Reckoning is a book club read for September and I received an ARC from Netgalley。 I’ve never read Catherine Coulter before。 This novel has dual storyline， both very interesting and riveting。 An action thriller with a bit of romance。 I’m intrigue with Savich and Sherlock and will have to go back and read others from the series。 I also enjoyed the character Kirra。 She was such a strong character and on a dangerous mission。 Perhaps she’ll be in future books。 Good Read！

Savich and Sherlock are one of my favourite dynamic duos。 This action-packed suspense is a dual plot which I love。 Ms。 Coulter consistently writes concurrent plots for her FBI Thriller series。 This adds an additional complexity to the story and it makes it so good。 There are parallel's to Kirra and Emma's situation which makes this pairing good to read。To read the rest of my review， click on the image below to see it on my website。 Savich and Sherlock are one of my favourite dynamic duos。 This action-packed suspense is a dual plot which I love。 Ms。 Coulter consistently writes concurrent plots for her FBI Thriller series。 This adds an additional complexity to the story and it makes it so good。 There are parallel's to Kirra and Emma's situation which makes this pairing good to read。To read the rest of my review， click on the image below to see it on my website。 。。。more

Let’s go 3。5 stars。 A pretty good book， lots of names and lots of places， but I can’t remember which one is the main one。 We have Kirra as a young girl， we have Emma and Molly。 We have the two older guys。 And more and more。 The plot keeps going around and around and just when you feel it’s over it keeps ramping up。 Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this interesting book。

Two mysteries intertwine and end up connected in this fast-paced thriller。 Sherlock and Savich are each following separate stories at first。 Kirra， now a prosecuting attorney， survived as a child when her parents were murdered and she had to flee for her life。 Emma， a piano prodigy， was kidnapped as a young child and now someone is trying to kidnap her again。 What seems like two separate cases soon evolves into one twisted mystery。I always enjoy the Savich and Sherlock stories and look forward t Two mysteries intertwine and end up connected in this fast-paced thriller。 Sherlock and Savich are each following separate stories at first。 Kirra， now a prosecuting attorney， survived as a child when her parents were murdered and she had to flee for her life。 Emma， a piano prodigy， was kidnapped as a young child and now someone is trying to kidnap her again。 What seems like two separate cases soon evolves into one twisted mystery。I always enjoy the Savich and Sherlock stories and look forward to more。 The addition of an Australian background was fun。 Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC。 。。。more
