Run To Get This Book
I was thrilled to walk into my local bookstore one day and discover that Jeff Abbott had written another book featuring my favorite character of his, Whit Mosely. I was a little disappointment that this book was mostly not set on the Gulf Coast of Texas like the ...

Collision
Jeff Abbott
Dutton Adult, 2008

I bought this book one month ago for a long flight to Japan in September. In the book store I really didn't know what book to buy and I have never heard of Jeff Abbott before. Then this silver shiny cover flashed out from the bookshelf. I read the first two pages and ...

Promises of Home
Jeff Abbott
Fawcett, 1996
I just can't get enough of Jeff Abbott!
This is the 3rd page turner in the Jordan Poteet series. I was thankful that I had the next in the series "Distant Blood" ready to go the minute I finished this one. "Promises of Home" came from a slightly different angle than the first two, but kept me guessing all ...

Black Jack Point

Great addition to the Port Leo series....
a great Texas author, Abbott writes about fictional Port Leo like it's a town we all know and love. This is a very good story, about modern day pirates and treasure hunters, featuring Abbott's recurring main character, JP Whit Moseley, an irreverent judge/coroner for ...

A Kiss Gone Bad
Jeff Abbott
Onyx, 2001
Thoroughly Enjoyable Series Debut
Mr. Abbott gives his hero a nice twist - he's a Texas Justice of the Peace who has no formal training, who got the job through his father's influence, and formerly had a number of unskilled jobs. (My mental image was initially of Jimmy Buffett in judge's robes.) But ...

Fear
Jeff Abbott

A thrilling novel that will have you looking over your shoulder
The title of Jeff Abbott's latest novel is well chosen. The psychological impairment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the thread that runs through FEAR; it is the possibility of a cure --- and the profit that might be made from it --- that brings three ...

Panic
Jeff Abbott
Onyx, 2006
Fun Fast Paced Read! Granted Unrealistic But So What? It's Not a Non Fiction Book
I really enjoyed this book. Panic is not the most realistic adventure ever written but if it was real Evan would be dead in the first few chapters as would his girlfriend Carrie, we would never have even got to the fetched reptile scenes (I don't believe in spoilers so ...

Sphere, 2008
Will Pass the Time But Nothing Special That You'd Run to the Store to Grab a Copy
Run certainly does move at a fast pace but the believability factor does outrun the storyline. Note if you are trying to track this novel down it has also been reprinted under the title Collision so get whichever is cheaper. The storyline is enjoyable though and ...
