"This book falls short on character development. Stephen Carter clearly doesn't understand women enough to write about them and how they relate to one another. The book was a fairly quick read, but the ending was very disappointing. I felt like we never got to understand the main character or how/why she ever cared about Jericho in the first place, much less why she was so compelled to return to him for the "death march". Very unrealistic, but someone entertaining."
"Emporer of Ocean's Park was so well crafted that I had high expectations for Jericho's Fall. It was an enjoyable read, but I don't think it lived up to the praise it was given in the press. As a paranoid suspense/thriller the storyline was stretched a bit thin, but crafted well enough to keep you turning the pages as the resolution always seemed just about to be revealed. The ending seemed to bring to light the few weaknesses in the story rather than the numerous strenghts in the author's writing. It was a solid four stars until the last chapter."
"I really enjoy Stephen Carter, though I'm not sure this book sold as well as his previous three.
It's a departure from the first three which were thrillers set in upper crust African-American society. This one features a white female caught up in either the hallucinations of a former CIA director or the espionage equivalent of a car chase.
It's lighter than the first three Carters and has an ambiguity that seems to bother readers who want everything spelled out. I enjoyed it, but would happily follow Carter through the denser books he began his fiction career with."
"This book was a bit disappointing. Although a thriller, the setting is very static and not much happens until the end. The writing is good, but the plot was not particularly gripping. I heard a NPR interview with Carter, and based on that had the impression that this book would be more compelling than it was. Not a terrible book, but no classic."
