Book Reviews of Days of Drums by Shelby, Philip
Book Review: Face Your Worst Fears
Summary: 3 Stars
Authorities on overcoming fear advise people to get closer to their fears. That advice taken to extremes can lead to some pretty dangerous activities. That's the premise of Days of Drums which takes the daughter of a slain senator working for the U.S. Secret Service protecting other politicians, including Senator Charles Westbourne.
When a deadly assassin targets Westbourne, Holland Tylo finds herself in the cross-hairs of a plot that threatens her career, more lives, and to reveal ugly secrets. The assassin's clever plans put Tylo at a disadvantage . . . one from which she has a hard time recovering.
The plot is pretty straightforward, and the action's pace is fast. If you are like me, you'll find this book to be an enjoyable way to pass the time during an airplane trip or a long wait.
The opening scenes in the book are the best parts. The book ends up being less interesting at the end than in the beginning. Those who enjoy reading about investigations will enjoy the solving-the-crime aspects of the story. Character development and intriguing insights are at a minimum.
