#5 Is the Best One So Far in This Series

The Assassin, the fifth installment in Griffin's Badge of Honor Series, is in my opinion better than the first four. The character development and build-up kept me interested. Granted, the ending was definitely anticlimactic and Matt Payne is no Killer McCoy or Craig Lowell. I still found the book most enjoyable and am ready to move on to reading The Murderers.

Griffin knows the inside of Philly's Finest

The Assasin continues the author's series on the Philadelphia Police Department. His characters come to life before your eyes and keep you turning pages until way past your bedtime.Griffin has a way of showing the inside information on big-time investigations, without signaling the conclusion. I can't wait for the next in this series.

ANOTHER GREAT BOOK IN THE SERIES

I'VE READ EVERY BOOK IN THIS SERIES AND THIS ONE I THINK IS THE BEST

W.E.B. Griffin is great!

All of the books in the Badge of Honor series are outstanding. W.E.B. Griffin has also written othere series like The Corps and Brotherhood of War. These two series are about the military but incorporate the same character development found in the Badge of Honor series. Griffin is a master of capturing the reader and making him/her care about the characters and what's going to happen next. I give high praise to all the books in all his series'.

One of the best "Badge of Honor" titles

Matt Payne and friends track down a "voice of God" - hearing character threatening the Vice President of the United States. Griffin, as usual, maintains the characters and personalities developed for this series in exemplary fashion while weaving a great story.
