Lots of Thrills

A great thriller! Lots of facinating characters and excitement. It was very hard to put down. I did not expect much at first since this was not a novel involving Dr. Jessica Coran but I was delighted with following the adventures of Stonecoat. I hope more books of the potential series come out!

Robert Walker has yet to drop the ball.

I picked up Cutting Edge with a certain amount of trepidation. Walker was deviating from one of my favorite characters, Jessica Coran and I wasn't sure I was happy about it. Patricia Cornwell is one of my all time favorite authors, but her deviation from her Kay Scarpetta character in Hornets Nest was, in my opinion anyway disappointing. I do not wish for any author to become stuck in a "character slot", but oftimes, striking out into new directions can lead to loyal reader disappointment. Cutting Edge was successful beyond my hopes in creating new characters I could become hooked on. The plot never bogged down or predictable. His characters fresh, quirky, imperfect and all too human. I WANT MORE!! Kudos Mr. Walker!

I thought it was great and would highly recommend it.

Having read a few of Mr. Walker's Instinct series, I was hoping for better, and I got it. Cutting Edge kept me on the edge of my seat! (No pun intended) He was not redundant (in Pure Instinct he fully described James P. at least 4 times !) Religious zealousness and computers are hot topics today, and combining the two was a winner. Finally, a moden-day Native American hero! I can't wait for his next book in the Stonecoat series -- Highly recommend!
