I am a big Tom Clancy and John Grisham fan. I enjoy the legal aspects the Grisham brings, and the action and political thrillers that Clancy writes are spellbinding. So when I was first introduced to Robert Whitlow, I compared him to a mixture of those two authors. After reading several of his novels, I still think that’s the case to a large degree.
Whitlow definitely has his own writing style, even though it may be reminiscent of other authors. And because of that I have thoroughly enjoyed every novel I have had the chance to read by Whitlow. And the more I read, the more I enjoy his work.
That’s the case with the latest novel to come from his pen, Chosen People. Whitlow takes a look at the Jewish/Arab cohabitation that exists in Jerusalem, with the threat of antagonistic neighbors in the surrounding nations, and creates a storyline that is compelling and captivating. His main character is a young Arab women who is an attorney in the US, who takes on a civil case representing a family that suffered during a terrorist attack. As she researches the claim, along with the help of a Jewish American lawyer, they get wrapped up in the underground world of terror and espionage, unsure of who they can trust.
With several different subplots running through the book, Whitlow has woven a tale that can keep your attention for the duration of the book, and leave you wanting more. While some of the dialog could be a bit better edited – it felt a little cheesy at times – for the most part, Chosen People was very well written, and worth taking the time to read. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.
