"The General's Daughter" is the first book I've read by Nelson DeMille, so I wasn't sure what to expect. What I discovered was a cleverly written, well plotted, page turner. The story grabs you and you can't put it down. It's a fairly complicated story with a lot of villains. If fact almost every character in the book is a jerk. The ending was good but unexpected. I highly recommend this work to anyone that enjoys mysteries, suspense, or military fiction.

She was an arm captain and the daughter of legendary General "Fighting Joe" Cambell when her body was found-naked and bound- on the firing range of Fort Hadley. This polical powder keg of a case goes directly to elite investigator Paul Brenner and rape specialist Cynthia Sunhill... and explodes. Behind the military code of honor, Brenner and Sunhill uncover trails of corruption-all leading to the golden girl's shocking secret life.

Full of what the movie didn't tell or discribe. As always the movie leaves too much of the book out. You need to read the book to get the full plot.

Every Nelson DeMille book I\'ve read has been great. I look for his name when I go to the bookstore. He is insightful, funny, and not afraid of high sexual fantasy. I read \"The General\'s Daughter\" recently on a long plane flight, and it made the time go quickly.
The Generals daughter is murdered and her body is found naked and bound on an Army Post firing range. She is a Captian in the Army. The murder is investigated by a member of the Army's elite undercover nvestigative unit. It is a compelling story involving the mystery of her shocking secret life coupled with military corruption.

I have never read any other of Demille's book, but this was a good read.
When a daughter of a post commander is found murdered under bizarre circumstances, a Criminal Investigation Divison Warrant officer is called to investigate the homicide. As he learns about the victims secret life, he finds sex is a predominant theme in the crime. Incredibly sad in parts and hilarious in others. This murder-mystery novel is much better than the movie by the same title!
Another great book by a wonderful writer. You simply don't want to stop reading it. Twists and turns everywhere. Don't be fooled by the movie. keeps you guessing.... and I love that.
Classic Nelson DeMille book. Great all around. If you like this you might as well get the 2nd in the series called Up Country.

Made into movie with John Travolta. Great military story with psychological turns.
Captain Ann Campbell is the daughter of General "Fighting Joe" Campbell. She is a West Point graduate, beautiful, bright, and the pride of Fort Hadley. Her raped and murdered body is found on the firing range, naked and spread-eagled, her hands and feet bound with tent rope -- but there is no sign of a struggle.

I liked this book, it's a page turner as are all of Nelson DeMille's. This one has quite a lot of twists and turns and captured life in the military quite well.

I liked the characters in this story. What a book about conspiracy and cover-up in the military. It made me think afterwards about what kind of system we have.
I loved this book. It was ten times better than the movie. The suspense kept me from putting it down.

One of DeMille's best. It has everything his followers have come to expect: suspense, twists and turns, humor, attention to detail.

Will hold your attention.
I loved this book from beginning to end!
The book definitely better than the movie. This one kept me up half the night. The General's Daughter is truly a must read.
This was made into a major motion picture, starring John Travolta. Story of the death of a female West Point graduate, and daughter of a General. A fast read, perplexing mystery!

"Now a major motion picture from Paramount. A furiously fast read, genuinely perplexing, involving mystery and an immensely likable anti-hero. Demille is a master of the unexpected."
