Review: Engrossing thriller
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 3, 2013
When I first got this e-book, there were only a few reviews; all of them 5 stars.  Of course, I was immediately suspicious about that...must be friends, or people who got a free book, or paid reviewers.  Now that I've read it, I can say that I'm not the author's friend, nor did I get paid for this;  and yes indeedy, I have joined the 5 star club....FIVE STARS, absolutely!  This fulfills my definition of a "thriller" in that it goes into a chase for the bad guys that doesn't let up until the end.  What makes this book different is that the characters are not cardboard cliches; they are complex and flawed, and they each are drawn with such distinct individuality that brings the reader closer to them.  Getting towards the end, I would stop reading every few pages, hoping the "good guys" would win, yet afraid of what was going to happen.  This book completely absorbed me for a few days, and I was sad to get to that end. (Now waiting patiently for the author's next book.)
