The Ninth District - A Thriller
on Sep. 02, 2011
Dorow’s characters are well crafted. They are easy to believe, realistic and sympathetic. FBI Agent Jack Miller is a seasoned agent paired with Ross Fruen, a young agent looking to learn the ropes. Their first case together is a tough one. One man, nicknamed The Governor, has robbed several banks. He doesn’t take much money and doesn’t usually kill but the last robbery he inexplicably kills a pregnant young woman. The Governor has a plan and his plan is much bigger than simple bank robberies. Miller and Fruen know that their time is short to find him and when The Governor starts targeting them, time runs out. Douglas Dorow gives us a fascinating crime to figure out and immerses us in the scenery as well. I was able to lose myself in the process of tracking a criminal and become acquainted with the personal life of Agent Jack Miller. His struggles with family and job were very real. Dorow doesn’t create a superhero but a man with a family and a love for his job. Some of the things I found endearing about Jack was his humility and his propensity to give everyone nicknames. Fans of Crime Drama will be happy to welcome Douglas Dorow into the fold!

Divine Intervention

I really expected a straight-up PNR with this read but instead I got a true cop mystery! Sure, the agents that work in this division of the CFBI have psychic powers but it wasn’t the focus. The focus was the crime and I loved that. It was refreshing and reminded me of all the Chick Suspense I used to read. I still do read it but I find myself committed to lots of other genre’s. I am very happy with this and will be reading the second installment soon. I highly recommend this to, not only lovers of UF and PNR, but mystery readers as well!
