I’ve just recently known about Catherine Coulter and her new book KnockOut: An FBI Thriller when I got in the mood of reading crime novels. I’ve never heard of her before I got into crime novels, and now that I think about it, it’s a shame that I didn’t because she really has good books.

Catherine Coulter is a New York Times best-selling author, with her previous novels from the FBI Thrillers series topping the list. KnockOut is the thirteenth installment in the series, and a much anticipated one at that. The novel opens very strongly, a factor which I like the most about Coulter. Agent Dillon Savich comes at us while he was on the move stopping a group of robbers from robbing First Union Bank of Washington clean.

A few days later when a little girl sees him on TV, she sends him a telepathic message saying her life is in danger and asking him to help her. But before he can help the little girl, she flees with her mother in fear of her uncle. Meanwhile, Dillon is still on the case of the bank robbers, one of which escaped and is now leaving a trail of bodies.

The book is full of manhunt and exciting twists in the plot. There’s no doubt you can get hooked reading the novel, as it is delivered very well and the characters are very well rounded. With Catherine Coulter’s years of experience writing romantic thrillers and historical romances, this one is undoubtedly a work of a master.

If you’re interested with Catherine Coulter’s other works, I found out that she has also a number of romantic thrillers that are critically acclaimed as well. I’m not much a fan of anything romantic, but I find that KnockOut is a good read, so maybe some other time, I’ll evolve into romantic-thriller reader because of her. Ultimately, Catherine Coulter’s KnockOut: An FBI Thriller is worth your money and time, and will have you at the edge of your seats.
