I have read all the books written by Catherine Coulter. I have to say even though this lacked romantic elements I rate it one of her best. The story revolves around current events: Russian sanctions and mortality. The action is constant and I enjoyed all of the secondary characters. There is not much of Savitch and Sherlock and I did miss their son but the other characters are enjoyable and make you root for them. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

My first Catherine Coulter book and I enjoyed it. There were two storylines in the book - one that reminded me of a James Bond type plot - but they were tied up nicely at the end. The ending "sciency part" did seem to interrupt the end of the book a bit, but by that time you've read basically the entire book so it's not too big of a disruption.

The 21st book in the series and its just as good as the 1st. This is one of my favorite Catherine Coulter series. Recurring characters Agents Savich and Sherlock with a surrounding cast of fellow agents, victims, and two concurrent mysteries to solve. International intrigue and a crazy scientist kept up way past my bedtime - par for the course with Coulter books!

Full review to be published online in early September .

ENIGMA begins in Washington D.C., where the illicit scheming and law enforcement turf wars never end. A highly agitated man shows up at the home of a young pregnant woman; ranting about her safety, and never quite coherent in his rambling statements.

Law Enforcement diffuse the situation, at which time the man goes into a coma...and the young woman goes into labor. After the birth, the baby mysteriously disappears from the hospital. The FBI "Child Abduction Rapid Deployment" team is immediately sent in to pick up the case.

On a concurrent timeline, an Irish master thief has escaped custody and an FBI team is off on the assignment to recapture the thief; and discover that the stolen goods may be related to breaches in national security. This puts the agents in the edge as they race to solve the case.

ENIGMA is another intriguing entry in Catherine Coulter’s long running ‘FBI Thriller’ series. Although Special Agents Sherlock and Savich are once again front and center in the story, several other agents share story time with the cases. Can be read standalone with the understand that the reader may not know all the personal background of Sherlock and Savich.

Fun read. I always enjoy going on an adventure with Savich and Sherlock.

There are two separate plot lines in this book and they have no connection to one another. Although the concept of creating humans with special genes to find a way to extend life and keep us young. It had no connection to the other that was about a Russian blackmailing the President's chief of staff to get sanctions lifted. Both are good plots but thrown together in the same book it made me always wonder when they would connect. I finished the book realizing they didn't and was left confused and disappointed.

I so love all books by Catherine Coulter and this one was no different. The characters are warm and alive. I always enjoy reading the next chapter in the lives of Dillon and Sherlock!

In today's world of science and technology, this book was a perfect fit. Enigma started with two seeming unrelated FBI/police investigations that moved at a fast past and kept me reading. Another great book by Catherine Coulter.

Sherlock and Savich never disappoint, and the mix of political intrigue and corruption and the pharmaceutical industry is great. People have always searched for the fountain of youth and the paths along the search become more and more complex, as illustrated in this book. Great read with an interesting and current plot.

Have you ever heard of The Drinking Game? That is a kind of recreational drinking that takes place when you agree to take a drink every time a particular phrase gets repeated in a movie or by a speaker. In this book you would have been out like a light if you raised your glass every time the phrase "They showed (so-and-so) their creds" popped up. It was funny after a while, but it also broke the rhythm of the story far too often. Aside from that and the far-t00-talky wrap up at the end, this was quite an interesting story. There were two separate mysteries that naturally got tied up neatly at the end. Why did a crazy man attack a pregnant woman while insisting he was trying to save her? And why did a psychopathic Irish charmer get sprung from prison and disappear into a national forest.? Several teams of serviceable federal agents are on the job (periodically showing everyone their creds ) and do a pretty good job of figuring out the suspects and the crime. Unfortunately the ending goes into Mad Scientist Land which made it too sci fi for me. Even though the author insists in the notes that this is a possible real life danger, I found it reduced my engagement with the story and its solution.

A great read.
I have read all of Catherine Coulter's books, this one is terrific. Sherlock and Dillon are 2 of my favorite characters, they are such good people, making things right in the topsy tervy world.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes fast action, adventure, in a believeable setting.

If you've never read a single book by Catherine Coulter, you can definitely jump in right here--go back for the previous 20 or so after! :)

It's Washington D.C., where the intrigues --and law enforcement turf wars--never end. A distraught young man turns up at the home of a young pregnant woman, his rantings about her safety and his never quite coherent.

As soon as they diffuse the situation, the man goes into a coma and the young woman goes into labor. And then the baby vanishes from the hospital. An FBI "Child Abduction Rapid Deployment" team is on the case immediately.

At the same time, an Irish master-thief has escaped custody and an FBI team is off on that assignment to re-capture the thief -- and discover the loot may be related to possible breaches in national security.

Coulter writes as smooth as butter. The plots are well-developed. The ending is satisfying. The character relationships are integral to the reading and these characters are people you'd want by your side, be it for a crisis or a cold one! If you are like me and this is one of the first Coulter books you've read, you might find yourself hooked!

A timely look at moral and ethical issues versus advancements in science and medicine are the main themes of this latest in Coulter's FBI series. Cam Wittier has just received her first assignment as a full-fledged member of the CAU; Savich and Sherlock are once again caught up in a case that seems to have many unlikely pieces that don't add up; Jack is on loan from the NYC office. Plenty of action, some humor and romance, and plot twists that will make you think even after you've put the book down. Another winner.

I love the Savich and Sherlock books. the plots are always on the cutting edge of world events and the plotting is flawless. Engaging and satisfying.
