Book Reviews of Badwater
Book Review: Awesome and impossible to put down...
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't start a Mckinzie novel unless you have plenty of time or you don't mind being up all night. This is, by far, the best series out there in my opinion. I have read the series more than once and am dying for a sixth installment! Antonio Burns is a tough cop with a chip on his shoulder and a fine sense of justice. I believe he attracts female as well as male readers. He has a sensitive side and a need to make things right, no matter what the cost. I adore the development of his character and also love his brother, Roberto. Each is complex and interesting. The best thing about all the novels in this series though are the mysteries. Always a good plot and much suspense, plenty of action. I have nothing bad to say about Badwater. A kid drowns and the town wants someone to pay, it involves dirty politics and some shady characters. Antonio digs for the truth, even though it isn't pretty. GREAT READ!!! I would hope he has hit the bestseller list. He smokes authors such as James Patterson or Lee Childs. If you have'nt read any McKinzie, I suggest starting at the beginning with "The Edge of Justice". Book Review: Not bad.
Summary: 4 Stars
I really liked the book. So much in fact that I was unable to put it down. The story is well written, the characters vivid and it has a very suspenseful plot. I disliked the ending because it seemed almost too commercial fiction (in that it wrapped everything up a little too neatly) in nature for such a great piece of writing, but still worth the read.
Book Review: good like the others
Summary: 5 Stars
this book is as good as the others ! I highly recommend it ! Book Review: Antonio's Trials
Summary: 5 Stars
Once again Antonio Burns has found a way to the dark side, where rules, procedures and politics clash with the right thing to do. And once again, Antonio is ready to risk it all, slide down that rope of despair as his reputation, job and liberty are threatened, all because he's doing the right thing. Poor guy, just can't get a break.
Antonio's not one to mess with, especially when he feels he's on a mission. He meets his challenges head-on: "QuickDraw" fits him.
But everything has turned to dust in Antonio's life: his brother's a cripple; he's lost the respect of his mentor and boss; he's being investigated by the DEA for a drug lord's disappearance in Mexico; his fiance's left him; his new baby cries when he visits, and his latest love has betrayed him.
Poor guy just can't get a break.
And now he's got steroid junkies and tweakers on his trail, and an innocent kid is being railroaded to a life term. Worse yet, Antonio's about to be fired.
So why not get away from it all? Go scale an impossible mountain. Commit suicide by rock. Rip yourself to shreds on outcroppings or sling yourself into granite. Or gaze at the Wyoming sky.
And then make things right...
Clinton McKinzie has scored again with this, his fifth Antonio Burns story. Antonio may be out of work and lacking friends, but he's still my guy. Bravo! Can't wait for the next adventure.
Book Review: Another excellent book from McKinzie
Summary: 4 Stars
The main character is a very conflicted Wyoming state drug enforcement officer, trying to stay out of trouble, but always being in the middle of the turmoil. Climbing is his release but also an integral part of the story line. The books are well written with interesting plot twists, and he writes about climbing so well that you are with him on every pitch.
