Suspenseful: Hostages accumulate as people try to locate those "missing." The reader know who takes them all captive. The reader knows who the goodies and baddies are. What this reader found confusing was the NONchronological telling of the story, which caused repetition of events.The book was divided into five parts: Innuendo, Supposition, Hypothesis, Truth, and Conclusion. In the first part, the author is railing against the media printing innuendos regarding events because they seek to entice reading and listening audiences rather than investigate the facts supporting the events being reported. By the time the author gets to Truth, the repetition of events has occurred several times before the Truth is revealed. For instance, one of the protagonists is reported dead to the world and then appears reincarnated. The media does not correct its inaccuracy; it merely reports without explanation the heretofore-untold true fact.Ironically the story held my attention despite the confusion. I wanted to learn whether the hostages escaped. An action-filled melee occurs in the Conclusion.[[ASIN:B002VBWEZK  Barbara Johnson, author of Behind the Black Robes: Failed Justice]]
