At last! after almost 4 months at my comfort Bookshelf I'm done with Jeff Abbott's "Black Jack Point"."MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL'S" This book is all about Murder/Suspense/Drama/Treasure Hunting book. An emerald , a murdered old couple , pirates , a crazy treasure hunter and a judge. Well, although this is a entertaining book to read, but for me I just don't get it. ( 3 main weak points about this book for me :) )1. I'm not a big fan of Treasure Hunting, Emeralds, Golds, Pearls and other precious gems and stones takes hundreds and millions years to be formed. We dug up golds and emeralds, we swam the deepest seas for pearls why not let their beauties be in their natural place??.2. The words that are used to this book are extremely difficult to understand!.3.Easy money, being greedy and killing people are some lessons we can get in this book.2 stars! for this book nothing more, nothing less :).
Wow. This is dark. I am not liking this series any better. This time we deal with kidnapping, rape, buried treasure, and piracy. Again Whit goes for totally the wrong woman. This time she hides her debts and involvements in a murder that he's investigating and ends up getting shot to death. Claudia (his partner) doesn't fare much better. Her boyfriend was seriously involved in multiple murders and schemes, and ends up trying to kill her, but she kills him instead. I didn't think it was a very go
What do You think about Black Jack Point (2004)?
I didn't think I'd like this book. It's not my preferred type of mystery. However, I'd read all of Jeff Abbott's first round of fiction in the Jordan Poteet stories, and I bought the first 3 of his next round.I found myself enjoying this more, even if the violence irritated me. (I don't like a lot of violence in my mysteries - I'm more interested in the motivations than the crimes themselves.) However, I did like this and there were a few surprises in it. I read it quickly too. Not at all a bad book.
