He's the prime suspect in the murder. Finn must race against time to clear his name and find out who hated his dad enough to murder him.

"I enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, and a surprising ending. My only issue is that there was a few times that I needed to look up words in my kindle dictionary. I have trouble believing that a 17 yr old illiterate boy would use words such as lugubrious and incongruous."

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " I don't think I would have finished this book if I weren't reading it for the Hub challenge. I listened to the audio, which was one of the selections for Amazing Audiobooks this year. The reading was really good, and was probably the only thing that saved this book for me. Large sections of the plot were completely implausible and coincidental, and several times Finn did something that made me smack my head wondering what he was thinking. The action scenes were decent, although highly implausible, and the ending was actually somewhat sweet. Overall, listen to the audio if you need some decent background noise, otherwise skip this one. "

    " I enjoyed this book and will also read the sequel. Niall Leonard is a far better writer than his wife - it still baffled me how a book such as fifty shades can sell so many copies despite being so poorly written. "

    " Yes, I admit I was curious to see what the Mr. Fifty Shades of Gray hubby had to say with his 1st foray into teen fiction -- and it wasn't too terrible actually. A decent thriller & better than expected. "

    " Fantastic. I unexpectedly found myself listening to 4 different novels with 20-something male protagonists (yikes!)(yuck!) but loved this one. "
