Catherine Coulter has written a truly suspenseful romance in this story of Sally Brainerd, hiding in a small town from the enemies who killed her father, and FBI agent James Quinlan, who believes she's the key to the murder he's trying to solve. Sally thinks she'll be safe in The Cove--but will she?
Romantic Suspense At Its Best! The Cove is a little town made up only of old folk who sell the World's Greatest Ice Cream. Everything is picture perfect. No potholes, no peeling paint, and flowers everywhere. Sally's Aunt Amabel lived in The Cove. It was to Amabel she ran when she escaped the mental institute. Everyone believed she had murdered her father and was insane. FBI Special Agent James Quinlan comes into town to find Sally. His cover is as a private investigator sent to check out the death of a couple of elderly tourist who had disappeared near The Cove three years before. He asked questions never knowing what he would uncover and how it indirectly linked to Sally. James soon realized that Sally was not crazy at all. But she IS the key to everything. ***The suspense, mysteries, and close calls are nonstop in this one! Catherine Coulter has turned me into a big fan! The Maze takes a subcharacter from this book and gives him his own story. I can hardly wait to read it. Ms Coulter, in my humble opinion, could very well be the Queen Of Romantic Suspense.***
The Cove.....it just lacks something! I started reading this book and I thought wow...a book that talks about "The Worlds Greatest Icecream" how could it be bad? Well the more I read, it seems the more bored I became. I think this book could've been ended about 100 pages before it did. I think that most of this book is so unrealistic, it almost makes it hard for you to develop pictures in your mind, of the story. I'm going to read The Maze. I haven't given up on Catherine yet. I enjoyed Dillion Savich, he seems like in future books he will be one to be reckoned with. I also like James Quinlan. As for most of the other characters, they were just blah! The book is ok, if your into long reads where you absolutely get nothing out of the book, but if your looking to remember this one for awhile, maybe you should pass by it and read something else!Characters and Story line unrealisitic I really was hoping to find a new author to read when I picked up The Cove. I did not. The characters were bland, the story line was bad, and the dialogue of the characters seemed to me like rambling. I did finish the book, hoping at each page that it would get better. It did not. To be honest this book made me angry because I felt like I was wasting my time. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
