Terror Comes Knocking

De: Aaron Paul Lazar

Narrado por: Robert King Ross

Just before the American president is scheduled to appear in Sam Moore's hometown of East Goodland, Sam's retirement plans are delayed when his daughter, Beth, goes missing. Newly reunited with the spirit of his younger brother, Billy, who died 50 years ago, Sam is guided by an unusual talisman - a small green marble - that reveals a perplexing link between Beth and her mysterious roommate, Zafina Azziz.

Who is the real Zafina? Med student, loving friend, Egyptian royal - or a keeper of deadly secrets? Is she involved with a group of suspicious students from the Middle East? And what about that phantom boyfriend she keeps mentioning?

Does Zafina know where Beth is?

That's when Sam discovers that someone is plotting to murder the president of the United States - and that someone is hiding in East Goodland.

Can Sam, his daughter, and Billy's ghost avert a catastrophe that could rival September 11?

Gardening loving retired Doctor foils terror plot.

What did you love best about Terror Comes Knocking?

It was a good contemporary setting of a terrorist plot in upstate NY. The technology details were generally good, although I thought a weakness was when Zafina searches her handbag looking for her address book to find a phone number. Since she has a cell phone, any normal person nowadays would just look through the recently called numbers.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

To some extent, although it was pretty obvious where the plot was leading from fairly early on. It did have some nice twists.

What three words best describe Robert King Ross’s performance?

I didn't particularly care for the narrator. His voice was too deep for this particular novel, especially for the female parts.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Retired doctor foils upstate NY terror plot, while tending his garden and his invalid wife.

Any additional comments?

While overall I liked the book, it felt like it was not quite sure what it wanted to be. Part YA novel, part action thriller, part romance novel with steamy sexual innuendos, part Martha Stewart telling us about gardening.

A must read . Smart and Suspenseful..

This is the first Aaron Paul Lazar novel, but it will not be my last .. This is the 2nd book in the series , now I must go and read the first , then the rest.. it is defiantly wort it .. great novel The action accelerates in the last fifty pages of the novel. A warning: turn off your phone, hide in your bedroom, don’t plan on anything else but finishing the book. The pieces to the puzzle fit together and the final picture is one of absolute terror. Be prepared for a sort of roller coaster ride and don’t plan on doing anything else until you reach the end.

Terror as in Terrorist

Sam's daughter Beth is missing, his son is MIA in Afghanistan and his wife just dislocated both shoulders after a fall from her wheelchair. He thinks it's a good thing when her roommate Zafina and her brother offer to help out and help in the search for Beth. What Sam doesn't know is that his daughter is keeping secrets from him and Zafina is definitely not what she appears to be.

I did not enjoy this book quite as well as I did Lazar's first Green Marble mystery. It took too long for Sam to realize his daughter is missing. He missed too many of the clues Billy supplied and left Rachel alone way too much to chase after clues. For me, the story moved along too slowly and Sam did not piece it together quickly enough. I would have liked more backstory on Zafina as well. In the end, this book was not as compelling as the first in this series which is not to be missed.

The narration was good except that Ross kept whispering. This made the listen hard to listen to in my car during my commute.
