A Taste of Honey edition by Tom Benson Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
To sum this book up, it is about retribution at the hands of a beautiful avenging angel – the principal character in the book, Detective Kimberly Forest. The action builds from the scene of a terrible crime, one perpetrated by a ring of sadistic men. There is a very clear divide between good and evil in this book, and I have to admit it was very enjoyable to see the tables turn on these bad guys - each of them is dealt with in a highly imaginative and gory fashion, and the author is genius in how he describes their reactions. On a typical confrontation, they often underestimate the avenging angel, and view her as a potential victim. This miscalculation then switches to the very mix of fear and devious manipulation you would expect in such cruel deviants. All told, these guys make for very convincing and detestable characters, and there is real pleasure in their reversal of fortunes. Having said that, the author mixes in and balances the narrative with some strong and decent male characters who assist the main protagonist on her quest.At times I was so pulled into the action in this book that I honestly forgot to breathe. It was actually a bit like interval training – slow build to action; intense action; a chance to catch your breath while it slowly builds to the next confrontation; intense action; and so on. It is a fantastic read.

A Taste of Honey edition by Tom Benson Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Very vivid and detailed scenes which leads to some gore, which I mention for the faint of heart. A Taste of Honey is unique in that the main character is a female vigilante. It's not often you see women in that role. I enjoyed the story, but there were a few things that threw me off. For instance, the book opens in the New York area, but there are words and phrases used that are obviously not American such as flatmate instead of roommate and "at university". While I related to the heroine, she made some choices which didn't make sense, especially for a NY detective. I won't go into details so as not to spoil the read for others. If you enjoy dark thrillers, give them one a try.
There is something about the idea of a lone wolf vigilante dealing out justice that has always appealed to Americans.
We know that we should allow the law to take its course and that the rights of the accused have to be respected if we are to maintain even a veneer of civilization. We know that 99.9 percent of the time we do, in fact, let the criminal justice system function as it was designed to do.
But...
Too often the cops don't catch the bad guys.
In fact, sometimes, the cops ARE the bad guys.
And when the cops do catch them, too often juries allow the guilty to go free or a judge with an agenda turns someone who has committed a truly heinous crime loose. A millionaire rapist in Delaware, for example, recently did not go to jail even though the girl he assaulted was under five years old. In a ruling that shocked Americans, the judge in the case decided that because he "wouldn't do well in prison" he didn't have to be subjected to a life behind bars.
It's when we read about cases like that or the one in which a teenage alcoholic was set free after killing a few friends in a drunken accident because he claimed that being rich made it impossible for him to properly appreciate the consequences of his actions, that we yearn for someone to step forward and set things right.
Tom Benson's heroine Honey Wood is that "someone" in his fast-paced novel "A Taste of Honey." A former NYPD detective, she sheds her name and her identity when her sister is the victim of a brutal homicide and it looks like the killers are going to - literally - get away with murder.
Honey tracks down the killers in a cross-country, nearly non-stop ramble that takes her from the concrete canyons of New York City to suburban Indianapolis; from a cabin in the Appalachians to a marina on Lake Michigan. What she does when she finds them I'll leave to Benson to describe for you in the pages of this compelling thriller. Suffice it to say that each of them will come to wish that they had never heard of Honey Wood.
Benson, however, leaves us thinking that there is more to the story of this former cop turned vigilante. At one point in the book she discovers some disturbing information about the deaths of both her father and her mother. That information has to be verified and, if true, the indomitable Ms. Wood might not be finished in her quest for "natural justice."
Benson's characters in "A Taste of Honey" are finely drawn and he is careful to give us enough information about them to understand just who they are and why they are doing what it is that they are doing. This holds true not only for the main characters in the story but for those secondary characters who are important to the novel. Not many authors bother giving readers the details that make their secondary characters anything more than cardboard cutouts and the fact that Benson does makes reading this book just that much more enjoyable. We might not approve of what they do all the time, but thanks to those details, we understand why they act as they do.
It comes down to this If you like rapid-fire action novels that pit good against evil, then you'll like "A Taste of Honey."
I did and I recommend it to all and sundry.
