Customer Reviews

Could not put it down, honest.

I have managed not to read very many complete books in my lifetime thanks to Cliff's Notes. (Not proud of that fact.) Having said that, any book that captivates me long enough to read it cover to cover has to be good.I honestly could not put it down. I read it from cover to cover in 10hrs with only a few breaks. I have only done that with one other book, John Grisham's The Pelican Brief.Good job Detective Pate!

Eye of the Beholder, by Jeff Pate

Thanks Jeff, for another fast-paced, Clark Hager thriller! An entertaining fast read. Clark Hager reveals himself as much more than a police detective to his readers in this book. He gives us insight into what makes him tick as a father, a lover, a friend and dedicated investigator. Jeff Pate continues to mature as a novelist. I understand there's another Hager case brewing. I look forward to the release of BOILING POINT

Another Jeff Pate Thriller!

From the moment I read the first page, I knew this was a page-turning thriller that I could not put down. Jeff Pate has done it again with "Eye of the Beholder." This suspenseful novel about Clark Hager investigating the murder of his friend's wife delves into the inner workings of police investigation. It also deals with the topical issue of racial profiling. Clark's personal and professional lives intertwine to create a multi-faceted character that remains genuine. A must for your summer reading list!

Nail-biting thriller

One thing I can say about Jeff Pate is that he knows how to begin a thriller novel. With deft precision, he seems to lure you in from the very beginning. His first chapter takes you right in the middle of a woman's frantic attempt to escape the clutches of a killer and the action doesn't let up until the book ends after a furious car chase. "Eye of the Beholder" isn't only about Special Agent Clark Hager trying to unearth the killer of a friend's wife. It's much more than that. Pate gives the reader insight on how the cops do their jobs and how different people's perceptions can lead them into different directions. Thus, the reason for the title "Eye of the Beholder." It's a clever treatise that touches the very volatile subject of racial profiling and how bias (and not only racial bias) can affect an investigation. Not only that, but if you have read Pate's first book "Winner Take All" you can keep up with his great cast of characters. This was an excellent thriller, leaving me with the notion that Jeff Pate and Clark Hager are here to stay.
