wolf at the door

Great fresh start for Higgins. Sean and his friends were getting tired. Can't wait for the next one with Daniel the new protaganist.

Book Review

Finding the book, condition of the book and service received is everything I could expect

This Wolf Howls!

In the first nine pages of The Wolf At The Door the quick action sets the stage and pace for the story that follows. True to form Higgins/Patterson delivers another good thriller with characters we've all come to know and like, which is why many of us keep coming back...and back, and well, back again. Over the years I think I've read close to 40 of Jack Higgins/Harry Patterson's books and have been amazed at this gifted storyteller's writing prowess. Let's face it, the guy's good and at times, very, very good. To some it may there are some choppy segments but it all comes together like the story puzzle a good thriller should be. As for character development well, this book is alive with some long familiar characters and as in any series what you don't know about a certain character may be clearly spelled out or found in previous works. So do yourself a favor, read his books and come see why Higgins/Patterson is still leading the pack with The Wolf at the Door.

Great...as always

Frankly I love everything Jack Higgins has ever written and The Wolf at the Door is no different. I feel like I know all of the people in the book and can't wait to "catch up" with them as each new book comes out.

Another GREAT Higgins Novel - Kindle version

Jack's books are always incredible and this one is no exception, containing all the characters we have grown to enjoy so much and some new ones that will surely be seen in future episodes. My only complaint would be that the "text to speech" option is not activated in this book (I like to listen to books in the car during my commutes).
