— P.e.lolo, 1/27/2014" What can I say? I am hooked on his writing. tight, and moves quickly from one part of the story to the next. "
— Conrad, 1/23/2014" This was a dud; the first Coben book that I actually dislike. The plot has too many implausible arcs to it, there were too many characters who were left to the wayside, and the ending was really very predictable. I gave it one star more than I should have because I still like Coben so the extra star was for brand loyalty. "
— Cloakndagger, 1/12/2014" A good thriller. A young man is shot and left for dead, his wife is killed, and his six-month old daughter is kidnapped. Eighteen months later, the kidnappers try for a second haul, and the main character sets out on their trail. Good Reading. "
