Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)What a great idea! A novel that takes on the legend of D.B. Cooper. What if he did survive? Where did he go and what did he do? That's half of this interesting book by Elwood Reid and by far the best half of the book. He has created a great historical fiction character that was worth the price of this book.
Unfortunately, the story of D.B. in this book gets intertwined with the life of a newly retired FBI officer who was actually on the Cooper case when it happened. Years later, immediately after retiring he is pulled back into the case by another FBI officer who harbors a long-held interest in the case. I won't reveal how D.B. and the FBI come together in this book, but I'm afraid it detracts from the story.
Every once in awhile you come across a book that is written exceptionally well but has plot problems. This is one of those books where the main character comes alive, the descriptions and flow of the account is great but in the end, it just comes off as too improbable. Moreover, the other characters in the book just aren't as interesting as D.B. himself.
Still, I liked the book enough to recommend it and will give the author another try in the future.
