Paint by numbers, Mar 8 2010
By Gary Simpson - Published on Amazon.com
It's interesting to see that author Mariani has a book out entitled "How To Write A Thriller". Not that I have read it, but I'd be certain that he has religiously followed his own blueprint in creating this novel, the first in a series featuring former SAS soldier turned good guy PI Ben Hope.All the boxes are ticked in this one:
- a brooding, good looking and rugged leading man with a chequered and troubled history
- a smart, beautiful and vulnerable (and, of course, single and available) female in need of help
- plenty of DaVinci-like codes to decifer
- a ruthless phsycopathic killer under the control of a dark and evil Catholic canon
- a mega-rich businessman in search of a veritable Holy Grail
- comeuppances for the baddies and a happy ending, but with the promise of a volume two
You name it, it's there, all coming out just like the vase of roses in those "paint-by-numbers" books that kids so enjoy. Try James Rollins instead.

OK read, April 29 2012
By Thriller reader - Published on Amazon.com
Although I did enjoy this book, it was all just a little too predictable and not as good as Dan Brown's efforts. I'm sure I'll try some more in the series, perhaps wait for my next beach holiday though.

A Decent Read, Dec 7 2011
By PollyM - Published on Amazon.com
Well, I enjoyed this book. Yes, quite like the Da Vinci code but I actually thought it was a better read. Certainly was a page-turner (albeit on the Kindle!). If you're looking for a fast-paced, action thriller - yes, this will do. Guess some of it was predictable and the stuff of fantasy, but if you read for entertainment rather than for literary criticism, you should enjoy this book.
Listmania!
