    5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read
    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2019

    This is my first from this author and I can definitively say it won’t be my last. What a read! Nick Borman, the protagonist, is well cast in this fast-paced, well-written, novel, that begins with a man falling off a park bench, a red stain spreading on his chest. The homicide detectives arrive and the rapid-fire pace of this book picks up more speed. Nick Borman and his assistant, Alex Weiss, are on a private jet en route to a case they’ve been hired for. A high profile man, on the cover of Time Magazine, enters the plot. When his employees start having mysterious mishaps, Borman is reluctant to help out. Once his decision is made, then it’s all out for him in what slams and bangs page after page, filled with contemporary themes: political intrigue, high-tech espionage, etc. The characters ring authentic, right down to the officer’s attention to a victim’s neighbors’ chest, who happens to be an attractive woman. This side-bits make this not just an exciting read but a fun one. A short read, just a little under a couple hundred pages, this was a gem. The ending left me wanting more, to find out what happens to the couple of loose threads. Overall, a very enjoyable read. Now on to the next one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars  A suspense-filled blend of politics, high-tech, and murder!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2019
    Robert Lalonde effortless blends political intrigue, high-tech industrial espionage, and an ever-lengthening line of victims along the way. Nick Borman, the main protagonist, once again excels as a private investigator in the shady worlds of high-tech industrial espionage and big business. Called in by Sheldon Montgomery to investigate the unexplained deaths of several of his employees, Nick Borman has to call on all his experience and resources to get to the truth. This time though his investigations take him into the even darker realms of 'Black ops' and the highest echelons of political office and ambition. 

    The dialogue and narrative are skillfully handled with no pretence of trying to be anything more than a fast-paced and action-packed thriller, both of which Jinxed succeeds at. There are a variety of bad guys and other characters - some clever and manipulative, others plain and violently ruthless, and a few that are simply out of their depth in the bigger picture. 

    There are several red herrings that initially hamper Nick's investigations: is there a personal motive such as revenge or jealousy behind the killings, maybe an attempt to stall Sheldon's political ambitions, or something to do with the revolutionary new products his tech company is developing, or lastly, another level of intrigue that Nick's missing altogether? 

    Although book two in the Nick Borman thriller series, Jinxed reads perfectly well as a stand-alone story. The ending is unexpected and abrupt, revealing that if necessary, Nick Bortman can be every bit as ruthless as any of his adversaries.  Having said that, it does leave a few loose ends and the reader pondering if they're going to be explored in further sequels? For entertainment and quality of writing, this is an easy five stars for me, but for the reasons just mentioned, in a more precise rating method I would rate this around a 4.8. Will I be reading book three? Hell yes!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intrigue and suspense
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2019
    I was supplied a copy of this book to provide an honest review.
    When ‘politics’ are mentioned there are many who will yawn and disregard anything which follows, but such a tedious topic in the hands of the right author is a vehicle for a good story. In Robert Lalonde we have such an author, creating intrigue and suspense from the outset in this tale.
    One mysterious death is a headache for the authorities, and upsetting for those who knew the deceased. Three mysterious deaths and you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out that somebody somewhere has a game-plan, and nobody is to be allowed to stand in the way.
    Who is killing? Who is pulling the strings? How far will they go, and what is the motive?
    Will the intrepid Nick Borman get to the heart of the matter, or become a victim himself?
    The author feeds clues along the way, but he does so skilfully drawing the reader in. An interest in the story becomes a desire to know who is responsible for such heartless bloodshed, and how it will end—if indeed it does end.

    Recommend to readers who like their reads fast-paced and slick. If you blink you'll miss an important twist. If you also like a pop at the government and the shenanigans that go on behind the scenes you'll love this. This exciting political thriller set in the world of high tech inventions is well written and thought out.
    My personal preference is more of a meandering story with lots of background details but many will say that slows down the pace. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed this read and will pick up the next Nick Borman book.

    This is a fast paced read with everything you expect from a good thriller. Against a backdrop of political intrigue and hi-tech corporate espionage, there are some good twists and it isn't always easy to tell who are the good or bad guys. Plenty of murder and mayhem delivered at a fast pace kept me turning the pages. I like the character of Nick Borman, who uses more brain than brawn to solve the puzzle. The ending suggests there could be a further book to come and I will certainly buy the next if that is the case.

    If you like suspense, tech wars and the dark side of politics, you will find this is the book for you. It has a few unexpected twists and certainly keeps you turning pages. I would have liked to see the women in the story to have better dialogues and more presence but that is because I'm a woman. The story is mainly male centered and suits the overall dynamic of it. I was disappointed, however, to realise there is a continuation to the story. I was looking forward to see how it all ended. I guess I'll have to buy the next one. All in all an entertaining read for those that enjoy this genre.
