Review: Entertaining Escapism - B-movie style
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book is a fun bit of entertainment. Two couples meet in a remote cabin and from there the action takes off. So what if it's over the top? From the nail guns thumping to the zip lines buzzing, to jumping out the window and landing on the roof of a car, this is the stuff Hollywood was made of. Not BBC, more like B-movie, but for a few hours of escape? It's perfect.Highbrow? Not at all. But it was thrilling. The characters were silly at times and heroic at other times, and the standoff at the end, like an old western or Chicago style gangster movie.I enjoyed it, like I enjoy all of Ms. Elliston's books. Fun, hilarious, and definitely fast paced.
