Westport

Having read and enjoyed Central Park West, I was happy to get the opportunity to read an advance copy of Comey's latest thriller, Westport, thanks to the publisher and Netgalley. I thought this book was even better than the first; I couldn't put it down. There were lots of twists and turns and red herrings, and it was a compelling read. Westport can absolutely be read as a stand-alone book, even though some of the characters carried over from the first book. The main character now works as an attorney for a unique hedge fund located in a wealthy Connecticut suburb, and her new company provided a very quirky cast of characters. The setting and her new job make the book quite different from the first, certainly not at all formulaic. I'm very impressed with Comey's transformation into a great writer of crime thrillers. I highly recommend this book.

Comey hits another home run.
Westport delivers on all the bases: great story, thrilling action, well defined character developments,
and a story with continuous action that never stops to let you catch your breath.
Nora is a former US Attorney who has come to work as lead legal counsel in a CT billion-dollar corporate firm that is suddenly under siege from within. She and a business coworker, who also happens to be her close friend, are working on trying to discover who might be the saboteur within their ranks, selling them out.
when Helen. her friend is found murdered in Nora's own boat and her blood turns up on the trunk of Nora's car,
it is apparent that someone is trying to framer her for the murder.
Fascinating look at the inside of a (imaginary) level 1 Corporate American leader with all the federal and local govt legal asides that only someone with Comey's own extensive federal background could adequately describe and bring the reader into without totally going over readers heads.
Just a great, smooth non stop thrilling read for his second foray into the world of writing.
Ready for #3.

Westport is an intriguing novel which hooks the reader in immediately. When a body is found and an investigation commences, the reader is thrust into the world of high finance, family dynamics, corporate meetings and culture of truth and transparency. The book is full of surprises and compelled this reader to stay up late to finish it.
This book is wholeheartedly recommended for all who enjoy this genre, I thank NetGalley, Mysterious Press and, James Comey, for the opportunity to read and review this novel prior to publication and look forward to Mr. Comey’s next novel.

I am really enjoying James Comey’s books! Central Park West was great and Westport is even better. Lots of intrigue and mystery from the first page to the last. Add a bit of murder, scandal, romance, deception, family drama and odd business dynamics to build a very engaging story.

Thanks to NetGalley and Penzler Publishers for the opportunity to read this ARC.

A fast moving, exciting, and completely believable novel! James Comey has done it again! I've quickly become a big fan of his books, first Central Park West, and now this one. The man really, really knows what he writes about. And is able to put into words an outstanding plot and character development. I just could not put this one down. It's that good. I'm going to pat myself on the back a bit, I (luckily) figured out who the bad guy was about halfway through the book. But, even though I thought I knew, he managed to keep throwing in enough red herrings to make me doubt myself. I sincerely hope that Mr. Comey foregoes his legal and law enforcement careers and continues to write these great novels!
