Grabbed this because I've enjoyed all of Perry's novels I've read; this is no exception. It's less a novel of pursuit than some of the others have been, it plays out more like a crime-oriented Thriller bordering on Mystery, but Perry can do that, too. I was wondering, after reading that Forsyth novel a couple nights ago how much of that I'd see in Perry: Turns out, this is a highly technical novel, it has detailed (probably not entirely correct) steps for how to make explosives and bombs, and Perry seems to know his stuff, there. Perry has an interesting approach to writing burgeoning romantic relationships that is always kinda fun, usually surprising. The characters in the novel are clear, even the bomber--whom Perry made the decision not to name--and the story manages more than adequate narrative tension. Another solid novel, lf course I'll keep grabbing them as I see them.
