Book Review: Labyrinth by Catherine Coulter

Published in 2019. The author has taken two very dissimilar stories and put them together in one book. Separately, each could have been a book unto its own because there is very little interaction between the two. This is the same pattern the author used in a previous book I’ve read. The first story deals with her primary characters, FBI agents Savich and Sherlock. Sherlock is involved in a traffic accident in which she’s injured and loses her memory. She can remember places and events but not people, not even her husband, Savich, or her son, Sean. All she remembers from the accident is that as her car spun around, she hit a man. The FBI identifies the man as an employee of the CIA but no one can find him.

In the second story, an FBI agent by the name of Griffin Hammersmith is taking a little R&R in a little town in Virginia called Gaffer’s Ridge. As he strolls around town, he hears a voice in his head shouting for help. He zeroes in on the call, psychically, and finds Carson DeSilva, a journalist, in deep trouble. He saves her and calls 911 for help from local law enforcement. What he finds is a shock when the locals arrest him and Carson for attacking a local. He calls on his boss, Savich, for help. And that is the connection between the two stories.

Both stories were entertaining but I think it would have been better if there had been more of a connection between them.
