Three-star review of Credible Threat, Ali Reynolds
series book 15 by J.A. Jance
Surprisingly stilted dialog in the 15th
book in the series. I’ve enjoyed Jance’s other series and always found the
writing smooth, but this story of a woman would-be assassin after the priest at
the head of the Phoenix, Arizona diocese was repetitious at times with way too
many descriptions of people driving somewhere. It could have been a tighter write
and thereby a more exciting read. The elements and characters for all kinds of
tension were there, and some were realized, but I wish that more were. Telling
the story from Ali’s viewpoint, the murderer’s and others required intricate
plotting and timing but also contributed to the reader being told the same
things more than once.
