Dynamic and Gripping Agents Savich and Dillon have a new thriller that combines madness, revenge, secrets, new and growing affections and two unique small children! Someone's after the agents and their son; they're also involved with another murder, witnessed by a police chief that includes a haunted house. Enjoyed the new characters and the fast paced action! Page turner. Voluntarily read ARC, they Netgallry and publisher, for honest review.

Paradox by Catherine Coulter is the twenty-second An FBI Thriller. I am new to the series, but I did not have any trouble thanks to the author providing the necessary background information. Paradox has an appealing opening that had me looking forward to reading more. It was thrilling and exciting with someone trying to kidnap Sean Savich and Chief Ty Christie observing a man being murdered. I was soon disappointed when the pacing started to lag and there were repetitive details that were totally unnecessary. The overly detailed descriptions also did not suit this story. We are introduced to numerous characters and are provided a backstory on each one (or so it seems). Paradox needed a faster pace and more action. I found the mystery to be predictable. The twists and turns were not unexpected. I was easily able to solve the mystery (that may have something to do with the hundreds of mysteries that I have read too). I wish the rest of the book had lived up to the first few chapters that had me riveted. While I wanted a little more oomph, others have enjoyed Paradox. Paradox is perfect to read on an airplane, on vacation or at the beach. I just wanted more thrills, chills and chases.

Five pages of plot and the rest is nothing but filler. Anybody that thinks a bass is a scavenger obviously has done absolutely zero research. A total waste of my money and my time. This confirms my reasoning for never reading a novel written by a female. Nothing but Fufu and fluff followed by endless boring details with no substance.
