Spectacular and intense are just two words to describe how great this book was! I didn't have any doubts initially that it wouldn't be a great book because I've read one of Ms. Dyson's books in the past, and was equally amazed then by her great gift of suspenseful storytelling.
This book had high energy and action all the way through with enough twists and turns to rival a back-woods, off-the-main-drag road. There were times when I didn't know who could be trusted, who had a secret, or who had a hidden agenda. It wasn't so much a case of "whodunit" as it was "now I know who's in charge, and I need to know what they're going to do next."
What really confused me, though, was the book's description. See, the back of my book says this: "Bitter and angry, Suzanne returns home one day to find an entrepreneur she is investigating, John Edward Sterling, unconscious on her living room floor." First of all, John Sterling wasn't an entrepreneur in the story; he was a senator. He was a main character throughout the story, mostly through word of mouth. The person that was actually unconscious (and later murdered) in Suzanne's home was a nurse that had barely been mentioned before this scene was set up. I can't help but wonder what the deal was with this mix-up. Had it been the senator as the murder victim, it would've been a completely different story. Instead, it's a sort of no-name character that had very little purpose in the story as a whole.
In spite of the description issue, Judgment Day was still an incredible story, and I had it finished it in a day. Wanda Dyson is yet another author whose past novels need to make their way into my hands at some point down the road...she's that good. :o)
