This is the 27th book in the FBI Thriller series. This is one of my favorite series! I'm not a big thriller reader and would say while these are action-packed they are as much romantic suspense as they are mystery. Each book tends to have at least two plot lines (this one had a third smaller one) and Savich and Sherlock (married FBI couple whose story is in the early books) are always involved in the mysteries. One of the plot lines usually has a new romance with st least one of the couple in law enforcement. I love the consistency of the format and the mysteries always suck me in. I did figure out one of the plot lines in this one. The author has shared that she's taking a break from this series- not sure if the series is done or if they'll be back in the future- and returning to her romance roots. Whatever it is, I'll read it.

4.5 rounded up to 5.

Thanks to the publisher for sharing a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Excellent addition to the Savich and Sherlock FBI series. This time around, the story is split between the US and England, with a bit of Spain thrown in. Good characters, old and new, and a good storyline. Satisfying ending.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy of this title. In this new FBI Thriller, Sherlock and Savich are enlisted to aid Lady Elizabeth Palmer from England. She is in the US to escape threats on her life from a terrorist group. Along the way, Elizabeth meets another FBI agent who becomes her love interest. This another fast-paced installment of this series.

Flashpoint, the latest in the FBI series by Catherine Coulter has arrived, and it’s a great addition to the series. Agents Savich and Sherlock again become involved in two different cases but their partnership can be admired for their combined efforts of crime solving. The novel weaves together two cases that with the help of chapter location markers guide you through changing scenes and characters.

The first case is taken up by Sherlock, that of Lady Elizabeth Palmer. A survivor of a London bombing the year before, flees to the US after new attempts on her life. She looks to Sherlock, with new attempts on her life. Agent Rome Foxe is assigned to protect her and they become quite a pair as they seek to find why and who all the way to London. The second case is that of the Navarro family Rebel, Archer and Archer’s son Tash. Tash is staying with his uncle while his father is on his honeymoon. Young Autumn Backman has taken charge of Tash and realizes like her, he too is psychically gifted and can see future events. What Tash sees is scary, his father’s life is in danger. Autumn reaches out to Savich, also gifted, and seeks his help.

Both stories are nicely told. You come to love the family connections, got to love Sean and Astro, and each character’s investigative abilities. The book is enjoyable from beginning to end. Find mystery, excitement, danger and romance. Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC.

Agents Savich and Sherlock return in the latest Catherine Coulter’s FBI series. As with all of Coulter’s books, she pulls you in and takes you for a ride across two continents. Lady Elizabeth Palmer is one year out from surviving a terrorist attack, but now she is under attack again. She makes her way to the US hoping to enlist the help of Savich and Sherlock.
In the countryside of Virginia, 12-year-old Autumn’s summer job is to look out for a shy little boy who is staying with his uncle while is father is in Europe on his honeymoon. But while in Europe, the father and his new wife go missing amidst a scandal. Autumn reaches out to her friend Agent Savich for help. It’s a race against time as Savich and Sherlock are working to solve to cases.

Flashpoint is a thriller that works well as a stand alone, even though it is #27 in the FBI Thriller series. I have not read the previous novels in this series, but I had no problem keeping characters straight or in understanding the context for this novel. Author Catherine Coulter utilizes multiple locations and narrators to tell this story of terrorism and murder. The descriptions are good and nicely detailed. Readers can easily follow the shifts in location and the timeline, since Coulter begins each chapter with detailed information.

I was a bit taken back that the terrorism is perpetrated by Muslim terrorists, Syrian in this case, Not having read the previous books in the series, I cannot be sure if Muslims were the villains in previous books. I am always concerned about categorizing a group of people as terrorists, as is the case in Flashpoint. The mystery is well done, and while I became suspicious of the perpetrator earlier in the novel, the mystery still held up well. This is a fast read, with terrorism, murder, and deception all being big parts of Flashpoint's plot.

I do recommend Flashpoint, which I enjoyed reading. Thanks to HarperCollins and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Flashpoint by Catherine Coulter is the latest book in the FBI Sherlock & Savich series. You can read this as a standalone but it is helpful to have someone background info on Savich and Sherlock first.

Elizabeth Palmer has survived several attempts on her life in England when she approaches the FBI for help. Meanwhile, Tash Navarro is staying with his uncle in Virginia and meets up with Autumn, a girl with some special powers who was in earlier books. Tash is certain that his father is in big trouble abroad but how can he help from Virginia?

This was another fast-paced mystery/thriller by Coulter. Thanks to the publisher, the author, and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Elizabeth survives brutal attacks that are at first thought to be terrorist in nature but turn out to be worse. A year later three new attempts have been made and it does appear terrorist, in fact.

Enter agents Savich and Sherlock (long standing characters who solve the mysteries in Coulter's books.) They work to keep Elizabeth safe and find the source of these vicious attacks.

Another fast paced can't put it down book by Coulter.

When I picked up the first book in this series I wasn't sure it would be any good and I am happy to say I wrong. With this most recent book Coulter continues the magic. Although the constant switching from the UK to the US and back, plus constantly switching between characters with zero segue, was frustrating at times, the reader eventually sees how all these moving parts fit together with some characters not really clear (intentionally) until the last few chapters. Nevertheless, this was an entertaining read that was not disappointing. The newish character, Autumn, was really well done and Tash was a very believable little boy with special gifts.
