I only read 52 pages of the book but couldn't access any more as my credit card wasn't accepted! Now I do have sufficient funds in my account and don't understand the problem. They won't even let me write a review! I would very much like to finish this book but, please let me know what is going on. I am anxious to finish this novel and write my review. What are you afraid of?

Why $1.99 for such a short story? Simple - he's Nelson DeMille! I enjoyed every part of this little gem, but of course I would have enjoyed reading more. I don't regret spending the money for a second.

By virtue of the fact that your all buying BOOKS, one can be reasonably sure that you know how to READ!! It infuriates me that you all bash an excellent author and give one star strictly based on your inability to read the description of this SHORT STORY. I take no issue with someone rating this poorly if they don't care for the story or the authors writing style, but saying you were ripped off for paying $1.99 for a SHORT STORY, only proves your ignorance.

Death Benefits at it's best yields to a marvelous introduction to The Panther. I so very much look forward to next by Nelson DeMille, having read eleven of his books, several twice, and both Gold Coast and The Gate House three times - or more. Which all makes reading Death Benefits forgiveable.

Totally disappointed, big fan of Demille but would not recommend this!

Not often you get screwed for $1.99! No, not naive - just never heard of a 35 page book! "Fool me once -shame on you ---- fool me twice ..."

It was just so so, and predictable!

Good short story. You decide if it's worth your $1.99 or not. Other reviews thought they were getting the new DeMille for two bucks? Really? It's called common sense, people. I hope you at least use it when you vote or drive a car.

How is this getting a 3 star rating when everyone so far has only given it one star? I'm still mad and want my $1.99 back!

Very misleading....this short story is about 40 pages long & then u read preview of authors next book to come. REALLY, u charged money for this?!
