One of the most fascinating thrillers I’ve ever read, with more twists and surprises than I’ve ever encountered. The characters - at least the ‘good guys’ - are people you care about, deeply human in every way. And when you think you’ve reached the ending? Read on!

I've read most of Deaver's books and rate all but two of them with five stars. The plot in this has so many surprises and the characters are well developed. A ransom note is at the center of the story and is reproduced three times in handwritten form. But they are not identical. When authors and editors miss things like that, it's distracting.
