DEAD PROMISE by Linda Wells: A Standalone Thriller
"The US struggles to fight a pandemic-with viral outbreaks in three major cities-while agencies search for the mastermind behind the biological assault in this sequel.
Wells' latest novel picks up right where her preceding book left off. She adeptly eases her audience into the story, reintroducing characters with minimal exposition or recapping, and even readers just joining the series shouldn't be lost. The no-frills narrative complements the short chapters, providing the tale with a brisk pace, especially considering that it began in the midst of the action. There's a definite resolution-a couple of crucial deaths cap off some of the storylines-but plenty of lingering questions remain, enough for the series' third entry.
A conventional thriller elevated by the author's masterly juggling of characters and subplots." -Kirkus Reviews
