Review: An "Unputdownable" Thriller Indeed!

Mr. Wells' book is indeed "unputdownable." It's a page-turner that ends much too quickly. I immediately plunked down money to buy books #2 and #3 and am looking forward to continuing Elaine Brogan's saga.Elaine is a likeable, strong, and at the same time, vulnerable character the reader can relate to, even though she lives a far different life than most people do. It's obvious that the author did his research developing her character, from her ancestry to her employer, for a complex character such as Elaine. The tragedies and triumphs she faces in just a few (too) short chapters are believable and draw the reader in. Kudos to the author for a job well done!The main drawback of this book is that ends too quickly and forces the reader to decide whether to buy the next installment or leave it and walk away. For some readers, it will be perfectly fine to buy the rest of the book. However, some readers will balk and complain that the story was left unfinished. In addition, the transitions between some scenes did not flow. The opening gives way to a completely different story in the second scene and leaves one wondering how they're connected. The story as it ends in book #1 does not explain it.I loved this story (so far) and definitely recommend it for readers who love "unputdownable" thrillers.
