This is the first in this series that I have read and, for the most part I enjoyed it. Any mystery or thriller set in Italy gets my attention. There were times I had some difficulty following the story threads. Reminded me of the wild ride found in a Cussler novel. I'll be checking out the previous books in this series and will most likely be ready to read the next one.

I received an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

The Devils Triangle was fantastic CATHERIN COULTER did an amazing job with this book !!

Evil twins, family drama, world domination, conspiracies, some science fiction, a little religion, even a little romance - "The Devil's Triangle" was a fun concoction and a whirlwind of a ride.

I had read the first book, missed the next two, then jumped back in with this one, book four. Despite missing two books of the series, this worked fine as a stand-alone. One of the key players in this story, not a member of the FBI team, was also in book one so that helped as I was already familiar with them, and their background (I've no idea if they appeared in book two or three).

Coulter and Ellison whipped a story that was grand in design, sort of an Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark updated and with a science fiction twist to it. No Nazis though, sorry. There is a lot of action, however, as trouble seems to follow Drummond and Caine wherever they go. Plans, both theirs and those of the villains, have a tendency to go awry. Fortunately Drummond, Caine, and their team are all good at thinking on their feet. They also had a tendency to do things that I don't think the real FBI is allowed to do. Though, at least the authors recognize that fact:

"I don't suppose what you're doing is anywhere close to legal?"
"Nope," he said cheerfully. "We're Covert Eyes, remember? I like Nicholas's motto: it's easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission."


Nicholas and his team follow that motto quite a lot during the story but they do keep the brass semi-informed. The case is a doozy and gets crazier as they go along: first, an old adversary asks for their help and to entice them, tells them a story about a man-made sand storm. They're skeptical at first but agree to check it out, just in case. From there, things get wilder and stranger. Coulter and Ellison gave us a cast of characters that is smart, funny, talented, and oh so likeable. Even a few of the bad guys are likable and I was rooting for them. I mean, ultimately I wanted Covert Eyes to be successful and save the world, but I kinda didn't want some of the bad guys to get in trouble. While the character development could have been stronger, particularly that of the twins, they were nevertheless interesting, mostly relateable, and a few of them were rather scary.

The story itself could have been trimmed, it didn't need to be 400 pages, but it was pretty fast-paced nonetheless. Science isn't my strong suit so I don't know how much of what happens is viable and how much is pie in the sky but I'll admit that I had trouble at times with plausibility. I couldn't completely buy into certain elements and that slowed down the story for me. But I enjoyed the mix of elements and the grand scale of the story. One review I read said this would make a good movie and I agree. It reminded me of the thrillers you could watch late at night or on a Saturday afternoon, that mixed action, suspense, and a bit of sci fi and kept you glued to the TV for several hours.

"The Devil's Triangle" was a good old-fashioned thriller that had a little something for everyone. Curl up on the couch, take it to the beach, pack it on your carry-on for your next flight, "The Devil's Triangle" will keep you entertained.

This is the 4th book in the A Brit in the FBI series, a spin off of the FBI series. I've been a huge fan of both series and both Catherine Coulter & J T Ellison.
This book started off great for me. It was fast paced and immediately jumped into the first mystery. However as the book went on and the plot shifted from art thief to controlling the weather around the world to in-turn controlling the world, I began to lose interest in the story. I believe this to be more of my personal subject choice, not the authors writing or storytelling, I still give this book 5 stars.
I look forward to book 5 in the series and hope its underlying subject is something of interest.

What a wild ride. Weather machines, hurricanes, museum thefts... murders, mystery, and romance. Catherine Coulter delivers an intriguing adventure where a family is searching for the Lost Ark.

I realize that this was a FBI story about Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine but I couldn't help but root for Kitsune. I think Nick eventually felt the same way. The Fox is pursued by the government and the people who hired her. There is seemingly no place to hid from the crazy siblings. This was a fast paced read because the suspense and action just keeps pulling you forward. The richness of the characters made you feel like part of the story.

I always find it interesting to receive a book and I have not read either of the authors' previous work. The Devil's Triangle was no exception and I soon found myself in the midst of a fast-paced adventure, which took me across the globe. The plot requires the reader to be willing to suspend their belief in normal experiences and believe the unbelievable. But, isn't that the essence of most adventure stories?
This was a story well-told and I expect to be going back to the other books in the series.

Interesting plot and quite chilling to think that such weather manipulation would even be possible somehow. I was spellbound till the last page. Excellent work!

The Devil's Triangle is fourth in the series with Nicholas Drummond and Mike Caine as the two main characters. In this book they start a new team called Covert Eyes where they are allowed to investigate pretty much anything they want. The team heads off to Venice to solve a kidnapping and the action is nonstop until the end. The plot is well written, going a little toward science fiction when the team tries to find a man who can control the weather. Nick and Mike are well developed characters even though some of the things they do are pretty outlandish. I had read the first book in this series and now think I will read two and three. It is a good series. I received this arc free from NetGalley for an honest review.

There is plenty of action and adventure in this story, a good sci-fi thriller with the nicest and most agreeable FBI agents I have ever read. Even though I will admit to rolling my eyes with some of the storyline/dialog, it is overall a good read.

A good enough storyline, but too formulaic for my tastes. The writing was mediocre at best, the characters were not well developed enough for me to care, and although the premise of the plot was interesting (and normally my cup of tea), I found the book as a hole tedious and plodding, and rather simplistic. A true disappointment; I was hoping for something better.

Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine are back in this, the fourth installment in the Brit in the FBI series. They and their team are busy setting up their new office space when a call comes in from Kitsune, the world’s greatest thief. This is not the first time they have encountered her but this time she needs their help. After dropping off a stolen item to her client in Venice, she now finds herself being hunted down by the client, and they have kidnapped her husband as leverage. While talking to Nick she also mentions that she may know of a plot to take over the world by manipulating the weather. There is too much at stake for Nick and Mike to say No, and the team heads off to Venice.

“The Devil’s Triangle” is filled with action and thrills from the first moment to the last. These guys just can’t seem to stay away from trouble. But it makes for a very exciting read. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Nick and Mike, and the camaraderie that all of the team members display throughout the story. The good guy characters are very likeable, but I also really enjoyed the bad guys that the authors created. They are intelligent buy highly disturbed criminals and made the story that much more enjoyable. The story line is very creative and takes some great twists along the way. You will definitely want to wear your seatbelt for this thrill ride!

Started out OK, but then devolved into something like the Da Vinci Code. Quickly lost interest and did not finish.

One crazed family will kill to keep their secrets from being known. The Devil’s Triangle is an edge-of-your-seat story that brings together Leonardo Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Moses’s staff, the Ark of the Covenant, weather control, and the Bermuda Triangle. Hold on to your seat. The storms—literal and figurative—that take place in this book will astound you.

From New York to Venice and from Rome to the Bermuda Triangle, the FBI and Kitsune are in a race against time to stop the Koath family, descendants of the Levites, from sending the mother of all storms to destroy Washington, D.C.

The story begins all the way back in April 1519 during the time of Leonardo Da Vinci. The great artist and inventor is about to die. His lover is there with him, and DaVinci asks him to burn the pages that contain drawings and instructions for an invention that he has not yet built. He fears that if someone gets hold of them and builds what he has drawn, that it will be more powerful than man can handle. These pages detail how to build a machine that could control the weather, a lightning machine.

Kitsune, the Fox, is a thief. She has been hired to steal the staff of Moses, or as some know it, Aaron’s rod. She does succeed in taking it from the museum where it is on display, but she is double-crossed by those who hired her to do this. That was a mistake.

Kitsune is a criminal wanted by the FBI, but that doesn’t stop her from reaching out to them for help.

What they discover is that the world, all of civilization, is in danger because of what some very unstable people, Cassandra and Ajax Koath, are searching for—the Ark of the Covenant. If they find the Ark, they will be unstoppable. And they won’t hesitate to kill to get to it.

The intense fighting scenes are written in such a way that you are able to picture what is happening in your mind. This book was hard to put down, and even though it is 513 pages long, I read it in just two days.

Although a bit predictable & tough to suspend belief, was still a good read & glad I got to enjoy it!

An interesting story but the key characters, the twins, are not developed in the story so that it is hard to follow when different events trigger responses. It seems that their sociopath personalities are solely genetic in origin. The pace while quick, making it a diverting read, however it has some gaping plot holes that need to be better filled... for example, why the young computer geek isn't captured when he is left in a bugged hotel room by himself, that would have slowed the progress of the good guys for sure. I will need to read another one by the author to see if these gaps are intentional or unintentional.

It is a good thing I had nothing planned for the evening when I began reading this book. I was drawn into the fast-paced action and found myself turning pages almost as quickly as the action was moving. One thing after another, all tied together but moving so fast there was no time to breathe. Wow! I came up for air (and food) at the end, and immediately started looking for more books in the series.

Start with some sci-fi world weather control. Then add a search for the ancient Ark of the Covenant. And finally throw in a little Bermuda Triangle mystery and you've got a rip roaring adventure that starts as a sprint and doesn't slow down. It wasn't really up my alley as I like my mysteries to be more conventional, but if you like non stop action mixed with some eccentric events, then you will love this book. Thanks to Net Galley and the Publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Another suspense packed addition to the series. You knew in the end that the good guys would most likely win but it was fun to see how it was done.

The Devil’s Triangle is the fourth installment in The Brit in the FBI series co-written by Bestselling authors Catherine Coulter and J.T. Ellison. In this novel, special agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine actually team up with an international criminal known as The Fox, who was hired to steal an ancient artifact from a museum in Istanbul. The Fox calls Drummond for help when her client tries to kill her after she delivers the artifact. That same client is an accomplished geologist like some of her other family members, but is a ruthless killer who devises a plot to blow up Washington, DC, using technology developed by her grandfather that allows him to control weather. Drumond, Caine, and The Fox must work together to prevent her from carrying out her plot.

Those who are familiar with Coulter’s FBI Series will find this book has signature Coulter elements: suspense, a bit of romance, and some supernatural phenomena, that will keep readers on the edge. Ellison’s contributions give the novel a different feel and make this series stand out; she is also an excellent thriller writer and the combination of the two makes for an excellent novel.

The characters are well-developed and even fairly believable; Drummond consults with some of the characters from Coulter’s FBI series, so readers who are familiar will feel they are reading about old friends.

Although the plot of the novel is a bit implausible, the authors’ writing skills make the story almost believable. The authors are skilled in making their characters seem real; the good guys are likeable, and the bad guys are absolutely evil, making the novel one that is difficult to put down.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.
