Search - The Program

A really good read. This is a story about a prosecutor who had to enter the witness protection program with her daughter. It is a really fascinating character study of not only the woman involved, but also the people she comes in contact with in the program. Who can she trust-the marshalls in the program, or another wotness in the program who just happens to be an ex Mafia assassin! Stephen White has great style and insight into his characters.

This isn't my first Stephen White book and I was a bit disappointed. He jumps from first to third person and it's somewhat difficult to keep track of who's telling the story. I found myself re-reading the first couple of paragraphs of some sections to get back in the flow. Not a bad book, just somewhat confusing.

The format of this thriller is different from the others in the series, in that different chapters are told in third person or by one of the characters (think Harlan Coben). Also, although this is an Alan Gregory book, he and Lauren do not figure as prominently in it. I found these changes refreshing twists, and the plot involving the witness protection program was interesting. This book also features a fast-paced ending that will keep you turning the pages until it is over.

Riveting. I thought it was difficult to read because of the violence, but really a page turner.

I enjoyed the book very much.A fast read.

Stephen White is a favorite author of mine and this book was one of his best.
