Review: Gone Too Far

This is my first time reading Suzanne Brockman but it will not by my last! There is a lot of background information from pervious books given which was helpful but might be very repetitious to her followers. For that reason only did she get 4 starts. With that said...

Navy Seal Lt. Sam Starrett decides that he should drive from California to Sarasota to hand deliver his divorce papers since he's ex-wife, Mary-lou, has failed to return them or to return his calls. Sam aches to see his daughter, Hallee. Finding a woman's body in the kitchen of the house that his exwife, Mary Lou and daughter shares with her sister. Since the body has been in the house for many weeks, identification is not readily available. Not knowing if this woman is Mary-lou, and wondering where his daughter is, Sam calls his old friends from the FBI to help out.

Well respected FBI agent, Alyssa Locke gathers her team together. Max Bhagat who is attracted to Alyssa has a firm stance on the perils of dating anyone with whom he works. Jules Cassidy, who happens to be guy offers comic relief in this page turner.

Meanwhile, Sam's CO Tom Paoletti blocked an assination attempt on the President during his tour and speech at the base by presumed terrorists. Questions arise concering that operation, including how did the arms get onto the military base undetected. When Mary lou's fingerprints are discovered on the rifle, Sam and others suspect that Mary lou is having an afair with either Tom or a terrorist.

Gone Too Far is certainly a page turner with many different stories woven into one. Interwoven into this story are glimps of his childhood abuse as a result of Noah who is an African American. Also meshed is a love story from WWII era. I enjoyed reading how the African Americans treatment, and courage during WWII but found this information distracting just when the story is climaxing. Suzanne's method of tying both stories together was inspirational.
