"C Street" Review

by, Pj Schott


SUBJECT:  Exotic, erotic thriller had me blushing 50 Shades of Red


"C Street" is such a powerful, heart-pounding thriller, it now resides on the same shelf as Gerald A. Browne, Nelson deMille & William Diehl. It was filled with so much searing sensuality, my mother would have had it on the top shelf where I wasn't supposed to be able to reach it.

With a background in investigative journalism I learned that's not easy to get to the heart of the matter … and even harder to have the courage to speak the truth. Claudette Walker has done both ... and put "The Way the World Works" in the context of a powerful, glamorous, fast-paced thriller.

My favorite part of reading a thriller is taking a trip to exotic locales, and C Street did not disappoint. Walker's heroine takes us on a breathtaking journey from Washington DC, Geneva, London, Manhattan, Costa Rica and Israel. Add to that mix believable, unforgettable characters and just enough description to make the reader feel at home in each and every scene.

Against a background of unimaginable wealth, power, and intrigue we learn more than we ever wanted to know about the inner workings of intelligence agencies and government, where the abuse of power often has violent global repercussions. However, no one she encounters is any match for the wits of the worldly, intelligent, and passionate Jacqueline Rose.

There had better be a sequel to this one. The surprise ending left me breathless with anticipation. KUDOS to this talented and powerful author!

Review & updates for books



"This book should be a resource in every veteran counseling clinic." ~ Rusty Fairbanks
   
As of the end of July, we will have given three cases of gift Decompression Map books to soldiers around the country. Thank you to readers who have made the past, present and future gift books for soldiers possible with your purchase any of our books or ebooks. 

"I just read Matrix Filia's and Claudette Walker's masterpiece, DECOMPRESSION MAP. It was written in such a style that I felt I was involved directly in the story. It was an emotionally gripping experience as I actually can relate to it. This is a MUST-READ and everyone should seize the opportunity to learn from and appreciate your superb book.Thank you very much for your great gift to our brave soldiers and our society!"  Sergio Lebid, NanoSpireInc.

5 Star Review - "My father was an immigrant who loved this country and raised the American flag every day. He had nightmares about World War II until the day he died ... that day was 9/11 and the last thing he saw were the twin towers going down. PTSD? Who knows? But I wish I had this book when he used to wake up screaming. God bless these two authors for their obvious labor of love. The Decompression Map is brilliant. I hope the Department of Defense is paying attention. Now we won't have to feel so helpless when all we can think of to say is "Welcome Home."  Amazon Review

5 Star Review - "This is a must read for anybody coming home from combat duty and their family! This book can really help Veteran's transition back into Civilian Life after returning home so quickly after combat. Used as an Aid for family and friends of soldiers returning home. It gives you good clues on making the returning soldiers comfortable. Nice Job Ladies! ~ Amazon Review

"Loving it!! You are introducing a fantastic concept. Reading it now. It's TERRIFIC!!" ~  Pj Schott, Survival for Blondes

"Every soldier returning from a war zone needs time to decompress and a way to readapt to civilian life. That has been true for at least a century. Most recently, many of the men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan are having a hard time adjusting to life at home."
                                                                                         ~ L.Cpl. Garner, Eric S., USMC

“Providing social safety nets and readjustment assistance to returning vets is a win-win outcome for all of us.”
~ Laura Schultz, LMFT (Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist)

My 5-Star Review of "To Love The Rose" (Is Washington Stoned?)

Danielle Steel meets Tom Clancy

... is how I describe this book to my friends who have not read it. To my enormous delight, I recently discovered Claudette Walker, now hot on the block of international political thrillers. Thank God "To Love The Rose" has a sequel, since I grew extremely attached to her characters, all of which were developed exquisitely. Claudette Walker's excellent sense of place fittingly took me back to some of my old haunts ... San Francisco, Washington D.C,, Florida, and New York City. Her depiction of the U.S. political climate, as well as the U.S. role on the world stage is spot on. "To Love The Rose" provides an insider's view of power, high finance, government and the people who live in these worlds. I am now reading Walker's second book, "C Street" with even greater amazement at her knowledge of global intrigue and high-level maneuvers. I have always believed that to pursue truth one must read fiction and there is much truth in this extraordinary author's romantic thriller.

C Street ~ by Claudette Walker


Thank you to all who have taken the time to say a few kind works, write a review, liked or shared a post and just made me feel very good. You inspire me. I know that I have not been able to capture all of your kind words, but I am eternally grateful.

"C Street" is one of my favorite books EVER!! I studied investigative journalism and learned that's not easy to get to the heart of the matter. And even harder to have the courage to speak the truth. You have done all of the both ... and put "the way the world works" in the context of a powerful, glamorous, face-paced thriller. KUDOS! !Thank you, Pj Schott

"That hologram idea was genius!" Thank you, Francine Haertel.

"Your books are Masterpieces!" Sergio Lebid, NanoSpire Project

"Tape No. 35 and an appearance via hologram!" Thank you, Pj Schott.

Chilling, exhaustively researched, and slyly humorous, Claudette Walker's "C Street" is a well-painted and entertaining spy service portrait that strikes all too close to the realities of corrupt governance in America.

The corrupt government agents are painted real as the world and with twice the size ego, the settings are vivid and well-researched, and the heroine is a sympathetic, tragic, intensely human figure. A recommended read!

As an essay into the mentalities that control America, it is nothing less than a stunning psychological indictment of the madness that can happen when the most powerful forces in America go corrupt.

Props to Ms. Walker on a wonderful novel!  --F.A. Seidman, entrepreneur and grandson of former FDIC Chairman Bill Seidman

It's the best thing you'll have read in a long time. You won't be able to put it down. Linda Leipziger

The Casey Anthony Murder Trial 

A BRILLIANT AUTHOR SHEDS A BRIGHT BEAM
INTO THE CENTER OF THIS TRIAL

When asked to write the postscript for this book, I knew it was an important story. Reading it makes me realize how right I was about the importance of this book. I also became aware of how much I did not know about the horrific death of this child and the judicial process that was to try her mother for the death. I walked away from reading this book with an understanding of how unpredictable our justice/jury system can be. From the media and shows like CSI, juries currently expect a great deal of forensic evidence such as DNA, fiber, strands of hair etc. However, such is rarely the case in a homicide. Furthermore, young missing children do not garner a great deal of news coverage, unless the media is focused on that particular child whose case then develops into a high profile one. It would behoove all of us to be more sensitive to and become more aware of those whose task it is to guard our most precious resources, our children.                                         

~Laura Schultz, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

"Speaking as one who has been there, this book gives a real feel for the action
both inside and outside the courtroom in the trial of a high-profile capital murder case."
~David E. Siar, Esquire

"This is the type of book you can pick up and read, stop, read, and keep your interest all the way to the end. This is told by a mother and daughter. Fantastic... "

A book judging our Justice System with High recommendations! Excellent Read.

"Imagine the concentration, hard work, and pondering both Mother and Daughter have written about this well-known murder trial. The pondering over testimony, even choosing the Jurors - made me want more and more. Although this case in some minds has ended, it will never end in a mother or daughter's mind. The more you read the deeper you fall into the story you thought you knew. It isn't like hearing it while you are trying to tell your children to stop fighting, cooking dinner, or half listening while on a phone call - this book takes you into the head of a mother who had no care where her daughter was for thirty one days. It brings you into the FBI searching for evidence on her computer, how to kill someone, with both chemicals and instruments. It points out the lies, and the joy Casey was having with her boyfriend and imaginary friends. At times I was baffled by the Justice in our country when so much was up front - and the Jury in my eyes, one sided. It makes you wonder how any mother can be dancing up a storm while lying to her parents about the where abouts of her daughter and their only granddaughter. It makes you want to change the system, open the eyes of those who were chosen to judge the murder case of Casey Anthony. There has never been a better concept in my view of any other real life murder trial then that of Claudette Walker and her daughter Matrix Filia. With a sixth sense alone, and the insight of being a mother and grandmother my intuition has made its way to a conclusion. Now, don't let this outstanding, well written, and widely known case slip through your fingers - I know once you start reading, getting into the nitty gritty of the life of Casey Anthony, you too won't be able to place the book down. Congratulations on a book which should be read by families all across this land of ours. You never trust anyone - even your own daughter when a mother believes she is lying. Read it today."

~Nancy Duci Denofio

"Claudette, my neighbor finished the Casey Anthony book and just could not stop talking about it. She loved that the trial was broken down so the lay person could understand what was going on. Anyway, her eyes usually hurt when she reads but with the Kindle I was able to make the font bigger so she for her she finished the book in record time. She just couldn't put it down."

The e-Book was excellent Claudette nice job.
~Paul Cadogan

This one intriguing book. I'm almost done reading it. Can't put it down once I start reading it. I might have been the only hold out. Really, hard to know once you hear the perspective of the Judge, the Prosecution and the sleazy Defense. Anyway, am almost finished, but Claudette you and your daughter did a fantastic job breaking things down for the lay people. Reading on, good night.

It was brilliant looking at this trial through the eyes of two individuals who were just describing the and explaining everything that was happening in the courtroom, with the Defense, Prosecutor and the Judge. Thanks for a very good and interesting read.
