Description Conducive To Books Night Fall (John Corey #3)
Based on true events, but unlike anything you've ever read before, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille has created what may be his finest work to date.It is dusk on July 17, 1996. A man and a woman who are married--but not to each other--make love on a Long Island beach as a video camera records their pleasure...and something more. Out over the ocean, TWA Flight 800 suddenly explodes with 230 victims on board, the terrible blast illuminating the sky. The government's verdict is mechanical failure. But the videotape may tell another story--if it can be found.
Now on the fifth anniversary of the crash, two members of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force set out to reopen the case; John Corey, an ex-NYPD detective, and his wife, Kate Mayfield, a career FBI agent. Together, they hunt for the crucial video...and race towed an elusive truth even more horrifying than the crash itself.

I found John Corey, the lead character in DeMilles main series, in the 2017 collection of short mysteries entitled Matchup. His basic humanity, in part veiled by and in part revealed by his wisecracking attitude, his anti-PC attitude, and lightning quick mind struck chords with me. So, I read the first book of the series, Plum Island. That sold me and I then read straight through all of the books in the series.Night Fall (Corey Book 3). When TWA Flight 800 went down, the initial news includedOh my god. No amount of planning could prepare me to pen a deserving review for Night Fall. I will never ever read such a large book in so short a time. It was unbelievable. This is why I read books. After this, if I have to ditch 10 books in a row, it will be worth it. When I was reading Night Fall, I thought no way does this book get 4/5 stars. But it occurred that all events converged on the remaining chapters. That is the only way an okay setup book jumps from okay to amazing. The most
Demille's books seem to be reliably good (at least this series has been so far). I'm getting these from the public library (hey, I'm already looking at having to reduce the size of my own library...a lot. i can't buy every book I read). That means i usually have to put these on hold and wait to get them.As I did this one.This volume of the lives of our heros begins a little more slowly or maybe I should use the word "obliquely" than the first two. Hang in there it will grab you.Kate (Mayfield)
Generally, Im not a fan of political thrillers. You say to me, Carol, heres a political thriller I just know you will love and I will not be rushing to the library or my favorite dealer to get a copy. Frankly, I find most of them silly and poorly written. Government conspiracies? Puh-leaze.Not so believable.At any rate, this one popped up in discussion and due to enthusiasm from Sharon and recommendations from Alfred (and others, I thinkI lost the thread), Sharon and I decided to give it the
The writing is great and the main character is funny and clever. I enjoyed this book so much until the end when it went from a five star read to a four. I'd like to give it one star because I'm so unhappy with the ending, but that would imply the book was garbage and it certainly is not. The entire story is an investigation of what really happened to a jet that crashed in the ocean after taking off in NY. The main characters is out to discover the truth and why higher-ups in the FBI went to
This book was 692 pages. For 690 pages it was one of the best books I've ever read and then DeMille completely ruined it with one of the most piece-of-crap, cop-out endings I've ever seen coming a mile away. He even admits that he had no idea how to finish this book and his son came up with the idea for the ending. I guess that's the problem with writing a story based on a real-life event. You can't really change history or present "facts" that didn't actually happen, so he completely wrote
