Book Reviews of Fury

I've always been a fan of Tannenbaum's books, but this one is an exception. For Karp-Ciampi fans, it is sad to see how these favorite characters have become caricatures of their former selves. The lengthy past-perfect back-stories and annoying flash-back devices, along with the preposterous plot recycled from previous books make the story almost impossible to follow. If this is your introduction to Butch and Marlene, do yourself a favor and grab any of the earlier books. They're so much better.

In Brooklyn, a female jogger is brutally raped; the assailants are convicted and later exonerated by the Kings County DA. Now the guilty are filing a multi million-dollar lawsuit against the city of New York, the police, and the two Brooklyn Assistant DAs who tried the case. Caught in the glare of the media-frenzy, Butch Karp may be blinded to the lethal maneuvering of a terrorist cell plotting to bring the city to its knees by striking Times Square on New Year's Eve. But the destruction begins far below ground, in the subway system - where Karp's family may become their first victims...

Mr. & Mrs Karp are great fun.

Another first-rate thriller for Butch Karp and his wife Marlene Ciampi fans, with their kids Lucy and the twins and other "regular" characters from the pen (typewriter?) of Robert K. Tanenbaum. Couldn't put it down and now I'm sorry I finished it. Paul C.

good district atty butch karp series-well written

another good butch karp thriller

Big City justice strikes again in this Butch Karp saga, a rush for all who have ever lived in the Big City, and also a rush for those who have not. You never know what lives next door, or downstairs!!!

I am always on the lookout for the next Butch Karp novel. This one has more politics than I usually care for, but it was still a good read.
