Bibliophile | Catherine Coulter's Paradox is a voyeuristic FBI thriller

Paradox
by Catherine Coulter
Simon & Schuster

When there is a failed kidnapping of the five year old son of agents Sherlock and Dillion Savage, they are suitably terrified and wonder about the motive. Was it a paedophile; a kidnap for ransom; a payback from an old enemy or the act of a random crazed lowlife? It would have been far easier to snatch the child outside the house.

At the same time Maryland Police Chief Ty Christie is witness to a premeditated murder on a row boat on the lake in front of her house. When the police drag the lake, they find the victim’s body as well as the bones from many other people and a unique belt buckle.

Meanwhile there is a house by the lake that is full of ghosts, with two families being there on separate occasions and only one person escaping the carnage. It is not long before connections are found between the three mysteries and a psychopath who recently escaped from a psychiatric facility.

With soap opera names and access to everyone’s thoughts, it is a very voyeuristic thriller by the author of over eighty novels. The thoughts of the revenge-obsessed psychopath are revealed early on. The paradox is the last thing to be revealed, so it is up to the reader to guess the Jekyll and Hyde characters to solve all three crimes.
