Home gets hot for CIA Special Agent Holly Barker in this novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods’s thrilling series.
After Holly Barker lets an international terrorist slip through her fingers for a second time, the CIA thinks she might want a long vacation. So Holly returns to her hometown of Orchid Beach, Florida, where she had been police chief for many years. But a very unpleasant surprise awaits her. Many years earlier, while she was in the army, Holly and another female officer had brought charges against their commander for sexual harassment. Holly had managed to fight him off, but the other woman, a young lieutenant, had not. The officer in question was acquitted of all charges, and has also left the army—for a job as Orchid Beach’s new police chief. Now Holly must decide whether to return to the CIA—or seek her revenge...
Customer Reviews
Hothouse Orchid
Great read with usual characters. Teddy Fay continues to lay waste to bad guys. Good story and ending.
Not good, really not good!
Stuart Woods writes as if he is writing for grade school children. There is ZERO character development and sometimes, his writing reminded me of things like “See Spot run! Run, run, run!” Compared to authors like John Sandford, Michael Connolly and even Nelson DeMille, reading Woods is just plain boring! I sure wish I had my $9.95 back! Last book of his I will ever read.
