Review - A Darker Place



This morning I finished reading Jack Higgins A Darker Place. Once again he uses characters Sean Dillon and gang, but introduces us to Alexander Kurbsky, a noted and award winning Russian author. But he is no longer interested in living in Russia and wants a way out. Dillon and gang discover this and come up with a plan to accomplish his "escape." The only problem is that this is all a ruse. Kurbusky is actually working for the Russians and intent on destroying Dillon and gang.

The book moves along at a pretty good rate. There are a few unexpected plot twists. But the ending left me unfulfilled and leaves it apparent that a character will join Dillon and gang. There is the typical killing and such that Higgins is known for in his books, but it seemed like this book is not half as bad as those in the past.

Now it's on to Boy Minus Girl by Richard Allen Uhlig.
