Search - The General's Daughter

"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.

John Travolta movie.

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.

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 have never read any other of Demille's book, but this was a good read.

Made into movie with John Travolta. Great military story with psychological turns.

Better than the movie.

Will hold your attention.

Great mystery.

When a professional military woman with a pristine reputation is found raped and murdered, a preliminary search turns up paraphernalia and sex toys that point to a scandal of major proportions. The chief investigator is reluctant to take the case when he learns that his partner will be a woman with whom he had a tempestuous affair and an unpleasant parting. But duty calls and intrigue begins when they learn that several top-level people may have been involved with the "golden girl" and may have wanted her dead.

I loved this book from beginning to end!

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

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!
