"This was an absolutely wonderful read. It was fast paced, had good action, a little romantic tension, and a very good story line. I loved it. They have a sequel to this book that I can't wait to get my hands on. I'm very glad my in-laws gave me this book to read."
— Jannene (5 out of 5 stars)
" Another one of those books that I listened to on audio. A bit of history, mystery, romantic undertones, suspense... It has a powerful family undercurrent. It made me laugh and cry; and, more importantly, keep me captivated to hear the next chapter. I was very surprised when I found out this book was written by mother and son; no wonder the family theme was strong. Could easily be a great movie. "
— Kathy, 2/16/2014" I liked the first book that I read by Iris Johansen better. This one was alright. A decent way to spend a day reading. This book was predictable. Especially in regard to Kirov's true identity. "
— Amethyst, 2/7/2014" OK, so 2 stars probably isn't fair but I see that there are several 1 star reviews here so maybe I'm not alone. I started listening to this on audio and was up to part 4 when I ran smack into the whole Russian names thing/spy stuff. Completely lost interest and didn't finish. Life is too short to read/listen to something that doesn't grab me. "
— Becky, 2/4/2014" Awesome book, I loved the characters, and the plot, I felt for the sadness and loss, and I loved the action! Just a great book! Cover is a bit weird though, same with the next one. "
— Louisa, 1/30/2014" First book by Iris and Roy Johansen I ever read. It was very good. "
— Shelly, 1/16/2014" Action packed thriller! I love the fact that the main heroine is a smart intelligent women. The story is definitely a page turner! "
— Jeanette, 12/31/2013" Learned? "
— Kinga, 12/13/2013" I love just about everything Iris Johansen writes. This book was no exception. It had suspense, romance, political drama...it was a definite page-turner and I couldn't put it down! "
— Lisa, 12/4/2013" This book was certainly a change from the other Iris Johansen novels that I have read. It's not the normal, romance suspense that she writes, it tries to be more of an action book. However, it needs more action if that is the direction she wanted to go. "
— Aurora, 11/26/2013" Not what I expected from this author. Very slow going and not an interesting read in my opinion "
— Heather, 11/17/2013" New characters, great story. I wanted even one of the bad guys to come out ahead! "
