thomcat 's review for:

Rules of Deception by Christopher Reich

3.0

---

This thriller took a while to really get moving. Starts off with many loose threads, eventually collapsing into one narrative. These threads are confusing, perhaps intentionally obfuscated by the author. Another point of irritation is when the characters have information that the reader doesn't have. Once the narrative of Israel vs Iran (and the organizations pulling those strings) comes out fully, the novel tightens up and runs well. 2½ stars.
