John W. Mefford

A Jack Whitfield thriller book #8

For those following this series we know that Jack is on the run and with his confidante Natasha they race across Europe hoping to find the truth about Jack’s past. While in Budapest his memory rocks him and together they must use any means to learn the truth. Would finding what really happened in his past free him from the disturbing images he has in his mind.....or his visions all fiction?...from then on we step into an unstoppable whirlwind and a massive roller-coaster ride.

This story has some exciting chases, maybe a bit over the top but it makes for a very exciting read. I love this series it is one of my best not only it is action packed it also provides us with unexpected twists and turns and outcome we don’t see coming. The plot moves so fast in this twisted story that I couldn’t help but flipping the pages at a raging speed. Oh yes I am repeating myself I say this with every story Mr. Mefford wrote and I probably will in the future also. This author has a knack for penning a story that keeps us on our toes and teases us in ways that we need to know what comes next. I love how Jack’s character is portrayed as a caring but also a deadly individual (two sides of a coin sort of). The narration is fast and furious just like the action.

Reading “The Last Disciple” I was off on journey of intrigues, discovery, subterfuge and death.....what a good read....

Another great addition Mr. Mefford keep them coming. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment… (mehr)

WOW! I read this book less than a day (work got in the way or I'd have taken less time)! Yeah, it is that good! I'm a character reader, I get into the characters, their story, who/what they are, why they do the things they do. The author does an amazing job of developing Ivy quickly & thoroughly. All the significant characters in his writing are developed similarly. This book is in all senses of the word, a thriller, beginning with Ivy as a teen in the foster care system, and then jumping to Ivy as an adult, an Investigator for child protective services. Darker than his Alex Trout books, that’s it, no more spoilers from me though I can see more about Ivy in the future. Outstanding read! John Mefford has rapidly become one of my favorite authors and Ivy has already surpassed Alex Troutt as one of my favorite characters!… (mehr)

WOW! I'm a character reader, I get into the characters, their story, who/what they are. The author has done an amazing job of developing throughout the first 4 books. The significant characters in his writing are developed similarly. This book is in all senses of the word, a thriller, building from the ground work laid in the first books and continuing with Alex's role in the FBI and in this book the tone is darker, grittier and focuses more on the cop aspects of her job. Mefford has really hit his stride with this book! That’s it, no more spoilers from me though I can see more about this character in the future. Outstanding read! John Mefford has rapidly become one of my favorite authors and Alex one of my favorite characters!… (mehr)

Jack Whitfield Thriller book # 7

This is another high-stakes thrill ride that kept me on my toes till I flipped the last page. Action packed as always and an exciting puzzle to plunge our teeth into and try to solve.

A coded letter.
A hit team.
And a shocking revelation.

The story in a few words:

When Karman learns of her father death ruled as a suicide she is certain it is not the case her dad definitely did not commit this act, she is positively lhe was murdered. She asks CLASS to investigate and to prove she is right. Jack looks into it and his research brings out another questionable death in Washington DC that may be linked to the days of the Cold War. Off he goes on a journey of intrigue, discovery, subterfuge and death.....

More thoughts:

Not a dull moment, action packed till the very end. It seems that someone is killing Russian defectors but where does Karman’s father’s death come in to play, we eventually find out. I found this saga to be very captivating following every movement with its many twists and deceptions was very hard not to be pulled in, it moves along so fast and has so many surprises for us it is difficult not to enjoy the comings and goings....The narration fast and furious just like the action.

Another great addition Mr. Mefford keep them coming. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment.… (mehr)
