Arm-in-arm, the literary sleuths, dash into their review of the thriller BAI TIDE by Erika Mitchell.
“Move over James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, Adrian Monk, and Maxwell Smart, there’s a new investigator in town!” Wrye pulls down his Fedora and holds up a finger gun. “Bai Tsu, a newbie, Asian/American CIA agent is out there and ready to take numbers and peel potatoes.”
“Peel potatoes,” mouthed Tattle, took a puzzled breath and let it go. “Bai, fresh from BLOOD MONEY, is twenty something, humorous and self-effacing, tough yet modest and on an undercover cushy job assignment as a gym teacher for a girl’s prep school. This mission should have been as easy as eating a snow cone on a hot day, but nooooo, it turns out that one of the girls are being targeted. So, during the investigation, Bai unearths a devious plot that could ultimately kill millions upon millions of people.”
“Ah m’slip-and-slide reviewer, did you also realize he needs to ask for help from the very person he can’t trust? Annnnd that he will be traveling across the globe in heat and sand, cold and ice?”
“I did, I did.” Tattle nodded vigorously. “Erika also takes unusual secondary characters and weaves them in and out of the story seamlessly. Her plotline is flawless. The research is amazing. Though this is a fun read, you also learn a few things, just as Bai learns more about himself and his chosen profession. I really like this new breed of character, and Bai’s style of investigation. I am hooked!”
“Ericka did a masterful job with the action sequences, especially the hand-to-hand combat. As a martial arts fan, I found the fight scenes to be accurate and enticing. And much to Tattle’s delight, there was a nice dusting of prickly romance to satisfy her ooohhh ahhhh needs.”
“Hey! I don’t ooohhh ahhh anything.” She gives Wrye a sniff then adds, “This is action laden, tension absorbing and totally entertaining. Read this book, it is a delight.”
