The Target

Just call me gulible. I read other reviews that termed the plot unbelieveable and simplistic. But I read this book. I found it believeable. And I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I loved this book!!! This is a book that you can read over and over and never get tired of it! It was sooooo good! Judge Hunt & Molly were terrific together! Now I have to read the Maze as they introduced the FBI agents from that book! Definitely a great read!

The Target is the first Catherine Coulter book I've read, but it not going to be my last. I loved it. It mixed suspense, thrills, and a tiny bit of romance all into one explosive package. Here is a little summary about it.Judge Ramsey Hunt goes to his cabin high in the Rockies to escape unwanted media attention after a disturbing incident in his courtroom. But his quest for peace and quiet is broken when soon after arriving, he finds a young girl beaten and unconscious in the woods. When she awakens, he finds that she has been too trumatized to even speak. So not wanting to scare her further, Ramsey takes care of her himself, and finds trouble as men come looking for her. And also the girl's mother, Molly, who comes looking for the girl, and mistakens him for the kidnapper. But everything is straightened out, and Ramsey stays with them to help who is trying to hurt the girl.

This was one of the best mystery novels I have read. Maybe it is because I was a single parent dad, but Judge Hunt's desire to protect Emma really touched me. His romance with Mollie was wonderful, and the mystery was superb. You must read this.

I found this book to be addictive. I have read the other reviews that say that a Judge finding a girl in the woods would have immedietely called the police and I disagree. From the beginning the book explains how "different" Ramsey is. He is not a typical Judge and he has a very deep character. I actually loved the storyline. I started this book in the afternoon and would not go to bed until it was finished. I thought that all the characters were wonderful and easy to identify with. I will recommend this book to all that I meet. It is nice to have a book centered around suspense and not just romance. Great Job!
