"Loved this book. Honestly, the very first Patterson book I've read and am now obsessed with his writing.
The plot twists were well choreographed, in ways you don't see coming. All of the main characters were likeable, to the point where when things go south, you worry for all of them. "

"This is another great thriller from James Patterson. Most of what I’ve read are his stand alones and this is just another juicy edition to that club. I’d recommend it to anyone who appreciates a great thriller with lots of twists and turns."
