Reviews: Danger in Plain Sight

The reviews are in. Your response has been stunning. Thank you.

“Danger in Plain Sight is a highly engrossing read from the very start as it introduces the complicated dynamic between Callie and Cash. The focus is on Callie James, an intelligent entrepreneur and single mother who deftly manages to handle a business and raise a son. Callie is wary of men like Cash due to the betrayal she suffered from Daniel. She stands out with her tough exterior. Cash is a lovable rogue who inspires loyalty from friends, but seems unable to crack Callie. The plot moves at a breakneck pace, and the author imbues the writing with emotionally compelling scenes. Author Burt Weissbourd has written a fun and entertaining thriller/mystery with romantic undertones that proves hard to put down. The twists and turns in the tale will leave the reader turning the pages until the very end. It is an immersive story with richly drawn characters and beautiful prose.” — The Book Commentary

“Bravo, Callie James. A woman gets in touch with her inner action hero in this bracing thriller.” – Kirkus Reviews

“I was a fan of Mr. Weissbourd’s Corey Logan trilogy and was worried I wouldn’t like this one since I was hoping to read more adventures of the extraordinary Corey Logan (Ms. Outside) and klutzy life-of-the-mind partner in crime solving, Dr. Abe (Mr. Inside). But I am happy to report his new book is a brilliant departure, the work of a real American original trying something new. The plot twists like a snake. I finished this thing in 24 hours and I never do that. Callie James is another brilliant creation, an American Every woman, flawed and with a complicated past, caught up in a vast, unfolding plot far beyond her control. I don’t want to give too much of it away so read it for yourself. I was spellbound.” – Jacob Epstein, writer and executive story editor Hill Street Blues, writer LA Law

“Readers will know early on they are in the hands of a self-assured author with Danger in Plain Sight and, without a doubt, will come back for more.” – Michael Rand, Mobangeles

“Burt Weissbourd has a penchant for deftly drawn characters and high-octane action.” – Jason Hillenburg, The Magic Pen

“So many times in this novel, just when readers think the stars are aligning for Callie and her comrades, matters seem to get worse with Weissbourd parading a cast of killers more ruthless than the ones just thwarted. It makes for page-turning reading.” – BookTrib

“Author Burt Weissbourd plays out this non-stop action thriller across a well-planned arc with plenty of surprising layers and a series of detailed backdrop scenes that bring the tale to life with cinematic realism.” – Readers’ Favorite

“With Danger in Plain Sight, Weissbourd delivers a polished page-turner about terrorism, money laundering, and the price of sins rooted in avarice … Tart dialogue, explosive set pieces and a dexterous narrative style that favors velocity over exposition add to the book’s appeal … Thrillers may be a dime a dozen but memorable characters deserve a longer half-life, so here’s hoping Callie and Cash make a welcome return soon.” – BlueInk Review

“Here’s what happens when you enter Mr. Weissbourd’s world: You can’t get out. You will be astonished not only by the colorful, playful, lethal characters, you will be hooked into a plot that laughs at whatever else you thought you were doing today. Callie and Cash, beauty and the beast, and the characters that swim through their world are each a gem of humanity observed.” – David Field, screenwriter, former head of West Coast Production United Artists

“An inventive thriller whose unconventional heroine learns how to live again.” – Foreword Clarion Review

“… an entertaining and fast paced reading experience that should bring Weissbourd considerable notice and plenty of new fans.”– Too Much Love

“His skill as a writer is obvious and there’s a level of polish present in these pages you don’t find with less experienced authors.”– Hollywood Digest

“He is no newcomer to series characters. Weissbourd penned three novels featuring protagonist Corey Logan and the main character of his new novel Danger in Plain Sight, Callie James, is his next attempt at a series character. It isn’t often that male writers latch onto a female as the lynchpin for a potential series but I believe Weissbourd does an exceptional job creating a believable female protagonist without falling back onto formulas or clichés. The novel features a diverse cast of characters Weissbourd portrays for readers in believable fashion …” – Hollywood Digest
