The General's Daughter (Paul Brenner #1)
Paul Brenner is a member of the Army's elite undercover investigative unit and the man in charge of this politically explosive case. Teamed with rape specialist Cynthia Sunhill, with whom he once had a tempestuous, doomed affair, Brenner is about to learn just how many people were sexually, emotionally, and dangerously involved with the Army's "golden girl." And how the neatly pressed uniforms and honor codes of the military hide a corruption as rank as Ann Campbell's shocking secret life.
Excellent mystery. Kept me up late a few nights. I figured out early on who killed the general's daughter, but DeMille did some skillful misdirecting to make me question my guess for a few hundred pages. Sneaky devil. Some of the characters here are depraved in a way I wouldn't expect from DeMille, but they serve his purpose. He highlights some problems created by having males and females serving side by side in the military. I loved the witty banter between investigators Paul Brenner and
This is my first book by Nelson DeMille, and it won't be my last. I liked his kind of humor and some of the one liners. They had me laughing out loud. I liked the MCs. They were unfolded little by little to show who they really were and what drove them in life. The two main investigators, Paul and Cynthia, worked well together. Now I will say this came close to the line of too much dialogue. Where they just sit and talk out the crime and assume their assumptions are fact. That has to be my
I think the reason i HATED this book, was because this is not my reading style. My english teacher suggested it to me and i absolutely positively hated it.
Tragic suspense story of a father's pride taking precedence over love for his daughter.
The General's Daughter (1999) Trailer - John Travolta Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbells daughter - Army Capt. Elizabeth Campbell - is found brutally raped & dead in a Georgia military base field. The first 50 pages have shocking graphic violence - but if you can get by those you will be captured.Warrant Officers Paul Brenner (John Travolta in the movie) & Sara Sunhill (Madeleine Stowe) find how unbecoming Elizabeth was to hurt others even as a officer & West Point graduate. As a mystery,
The General's Daughter is a good crime fiction novel, but it's a straight-forward whodunit that doesn't have the humour and quirkiness of DeMille's John Corey series. Much like TV's JAG, The General's Daughter is about an army investigation into the murder of one of its own, in this case the general's daughter. The story is well written and is engaging, but the characters are not as fleshed out as in the Corey series.

I have seen the movie so many times, that John Travolta as a rough and sarcastic military investigator Paul Brenner is burned into the back of my head. And I really enjoyed the movie, and will watch it again for the 100th time.The book was great, and way way way better than the movie, even though I had Travolta's face in the back of my mind while reading it. This is one of those books I stayed up reading way too late, lost track of time, and had that addictive quality too it.If I was to become aExcellent mystery. Kept me up late a few nights.
