Rating: 2。0/5"No Way Back" is the first in a new series of books from J。B。 Turner and introduces the character of Jack McNeal， an Internal Affairs detective with NYPD。 When his estranged wife， Caroline， turns up dead Jack refuses to accept the official line that his journalist wife has taken her own life。 He suspects that her demise is connected to a story she was researching， so Jack sets about doing some investigations of his own。There is nothing particularly new or original to this story。 If Rating: 2。0/5"No Way Back" is the first in a new series of books from J。B。 Turner and introduces the character of Jack McNeal， an Internal Affairs detective with NYPD。 When his estranged wife， Caroline， turns up dead Jack refuses to accept the official line that his journalist wife has taken her own life。 He suspects that her demise is connected to a story she was researching， so Jack sets about doing some investigations of his own。There is nothing particularly new or original to this story。 If you are a regular reader of this genre you will have seen it all before - and probably also in a more memorable fashion than this。 It is all very clichéd and predictable。 McNeal has the obligatory troubled backstory that the stereotypical main protagonist is required to have。 The storyline is all very simplistic and the characterisation is two-dimensional and lacking in any kind of depth。 There is a fair amount of action that keeps the pace of the narrative moving along， but everything in this world is neatly black & white - just like in old western movies when the baddies all wore black hats， so that it was easy to tell them apart from the good guys。It is a quick read and， if this is your type of thing， then it's an okay way to while away a few hours。 But it isn't particularly satisfying or memorable and there are far better examples out there。 。。。more

“No Way Back”， from the painful experience reading this book！I cannot remember ever giving a First Reads title only 2 stars， but this J。 B。 Turner’s “No Way Back” has that distinction。 The language is gratuitously vile。 Good luck going 2 pages without being blasted by f-bombs， divine epithets， and for kicks and giggles， let’s shoot a pet。Jack McNeal is supposed to be a new protagonist in this new series by seasoned author， Turner。 He’s had tragedy and is suffering emotional trauma。 Good for him， “No Way Back”， from the painful experience reading this book！I cannot remember ever giving a First Reads title only 2 stars， but this J。 B。 Turner’s “No Way Back” has that distinction。 The language is gratuitously vile。 Good luck going 2 pages without being blasted by f-bombs， divine epithets， and for kicks and giggles， let’s shoot a pet。Jack McNeal is supposed to be a new protagonist in this new series by seasoned author， Turner。 He’s had tragedy and is suffering emotional trauma。 Good for him， he’s getting help。 It’s supposed to make him seem more sensitive or something？ Epic fail， IMO。 He is driven to find out who killed his ex-wife， whatever it takes。 I’ll give him that。It is a fast paced story that races around D。 C。 and the mid-Atlantic， has lots of violence with no respect for traditional norms and political intrigue that include the upper echelons of government。 Oh， and in case you missed it at the beginning， there’s enough disgusting language for a years worth of this entire genre。 Can someone at Amazon Publishing please find this author a Thesaurus？！？Violence: 7/10， Sexual Content: 2/10， Language: 10/10 Recommendation only for hardcore types📚 。。。more
