Mr. Pepper has a greater faith in both the American people and in America’s systems to do the right thing to make sure that justice, insofar as it can be dealt given the realities of the process, is served. The Voter File is a wonderfully non-partisan look at the way things are supposed to work, regardless of criminal interference. Most of all, it’s an engaging page-turner that will both satisfy series fans as well as make new fans out of readers, like myself, who are just now discovering these terrific books.
... intrigue-filled ... The reader is privy to the action of the conspirators ... Mr. Pepper, who has quickly established himself as one of the best political-thriller writers on the scene, keeps surprising us to the final page.
... an overlong but engaging, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that throws off its share of sparks. And a little humor ... What’s scary, if not surprising, is the suggestion that the president had a good point about monopolies.
... timely ... Never mind that the action spins into the overly dramatic toward the end. Pepper offers a well-researched, gripping look at one of the many perilous wrinkles in the electoral system
... [a] highly plausible political thriller ... there are enough murders, tension, and fast pacing to check this story off as a thriller. Readers likely won’t find many surprises, though, as the plot follows a predictable path. And while Sharpe isn’t dull, he’s no superstar either. He’s just a good guy who gets the job done. Enjoyable, timely, and realistic.
