Great review! Your review was very thorough. I have also read a couple of Jack Winnick's books on the Lara and Uri series and I agree that this one is more involved. You can read each one individually and still get the jest of the story, but reading East Wind first tells you how Lara and Uri started their relationship.

Lara and Uri's cooperative work is always interesting. The title suggests some very interesting theories. It is interesting why the criminal decided to bomb the sinagogue, I think this could trigger religious battle.

This is awesome! "Devil Among Us" transcends the spy thriller genre, weaving an intricate tale of action and suspense. The novel masterfully explores the delicate balance of alliances and enmities. A compelling sequel that delves into the intricate web of international intrigue. Amazing.

I really wish that in this Jack Winnicks book that Lara and Uri were able to find out the Jewish family responsible for the bombing at the synagogue. This is a wonderful storyline.

Devil Among Us by Jack Winnick is a fast-paced thriller with loads of action, suspense, terrorism, and strategic planning. Book 2 in the Lara and Uri series, will capture the reader's attention from start to end. The suicide bombing in a Jewish synagogue and the FBI officials picking up the pieces from the clues left behind mark the beginning of this book. Congratulations on the BOTD!

*Devil Among Us* by Jack Winnick is Political Thriller, that is packed with suspense, action and romance. The book might be fictitious but the storyline aligns with everything currently happening around the world. We always hear about suicide and wars that happens around our neighborhoods not only to Jewish people but to almost everyone. It is sad to go anywhere these days because of all the *Devil among Us*. Congratulations to the Author for the BOTD! and Thanks for the wonderful review.

I have been looking forward to get my hands on a book or movie that will give me a very good description of the relationship between Israel and the rest of the middle east. This book will certainly be a great read to satisfy my curiosity. Thank you for the review.

As soon as I saw the author's name, I knew I had to add this book to my To-Read list. I've already included Jack Winnick's other books on the list and can't wait to read them all. The plots seem incredibly intriguing and captivating, and I'm confident I won't be let down. I'm a huge fan of FBI stories.

I started reading this series towards the end, a testament to the fact that they "can" be standalone books. However, I wish I would have started at the very first book! I still need to read this one and the first one :lol: I love the way this author packs his pages full of action, and for the most part, I find the plots he presents realistic. With everything going on in the Middle East today, these books are a reminder of the impermanence of peace and the persistent conflicts facing some nations. I am curious to read what you mentioned in terms of the politics of the European Union. I enjoyed reading your review; thanks so much for sharing it with us. Until next time..

The book is filled with high-stakes action, with Lara and Uri constantly putting their lives on the line as they race to uncover a terrorist plan involving numerous extremists. Jack Winnick skillfully introduces characters from various organizations that pose a threat to both the United States and Israel, culminating in a narrative filled with unexpected twists, gripping surprises, and shocking revelations. Nice review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller and excellent addition to Mr. Winnick's series, which follows two government agents, Lara and Uri, as they track down and prevent future terrorist activities. In this book, these two agents are tasked with discovering who attacked a New York Synagogue and what the group is planning to do next. It is worth a second look. Well done.

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Lara and Uri stop further terrorist stacks in New York and the country. The two were always called for dangerous missions and this one is surely their forte. I love reading action filled and suspense packed stories and this one is right up my alley.
