 DO NOT READ THIS BOOK October 14, 2008
This book was a huge disappointment - the ending left me feeling like I had just wasted hours of my life away.
At first, I enjoyed the plot and thought it had potential, and that's the only reason I kept reading...I was excited to see how she would tie it all together. But she never did. It was just a big waste.
 Mere pulp fiction May 21, 2008
I went into this novel knowing little to nothing about Catherine Coulter and her FBI series. I do not know how this novel measures up to her previous works, but I can compare it to my personal expectations and have to say that I am thoroughly disappointed.
The novel began off very promising with the stalker calling the protagonist and even setting off a bomb to prove his control. However, the stalker pretty much disappeared after the narrator moves to the town Riptide. Instead of the antagonist, the author subjects us to painful, mindless characters whom we can care less about. I don't care about this FBI agent; I want to see more of the stalker. Basically, the author dragged out all of the wrong parts and brought them to the fore.
The writing was average. There was no figurative language or amazing revelations. The characters were developed somewhat, but not to a point in which I began caring about them, only to a point in which it was above the cheap romance novels one sees at grocery stores. The author also has a terrible tendency to use repetition... but not the good kind. "Suddenly without any warning" jumped out of the text at least four times. Very poor word choices on the author's part.
I simply couldn't finish this book. I have a whole list of what I would like to read next and this book was taking away that precious time from me.
 Best Book in the FBI Series!! April 7, 2008
This book absolutely had a hold of me just by reading the first chapter! it was filled with many twists and turns and had me guessing all the time!! This book will want to make you buy EVERY book from her. Do read it!
 Tempted to give it a 5 January 29, 2008

I'm currently reading Catherine Coulter's FBI series (in order). Her dialogue writing has improved immensely since the first book. I was surprised that the overall rating for this book was only 3.5 and that's why I'm writing this review. I almost gave it a 5 and it's definitely a 4.5 but I have to give a little room at the top for the really good stuff, don't I? I liked the featured characters in this book and the smattering of supporting characters--good and bad. I would recommend the FBI series to anyone who likes light suspense with a little romance thrown in. Riptide is a good read and I look forward to the next in the series.
Who Kows Best? January 8, 2008

RIPTIDE by Catherine Coulter is a fine extension of a smart series, but her I detect a fine hand of an editor who insisted on just a little extra, which failed miserably. The story should have ended when Becca Matlock's problems were resolved, it was a finely paced procedural with tight suspense a stalker adds to any thriller. Two shorter books would have been more satisfying.
The additional plot line, late in the story, is a drag that spoils the effect of good story telling.
