"A good read- a bit confusing and people don't act in predictable ways, but at the end, you think- that was worth the time. As a first book, it was a very good read. The hardest part was that I didn't like any of the However, the ending was spot on- nearly perfect! "

    " This was different from a lot of mysteries I have read in that it actually kept me guessing about the ending until I had actually finished the book. I enjoyed reading it, but I couldn't quite wrap myself around the heroine and villain types in the cast of characters. "

    " I read this because it was the son of the Kellerman's overall a fairly good read - but it took a bad turn that was a little extreme. I thought it was kind of well written - I'd be willing to read the next book "

    " i read it quickly but in the end i was disappointed. there were several loose ends that were never tied up or explained. "

    " This was sort of an odd book. The protagonist's boss goes missing while on vacation in Mexico and it seems no one else misses him or cares what happened. Obviously that is a mystery to solve, but this book seems to care more about the main character's journey than solving the mystery, since so many ends are left untied. It is a testament to the writer's skill that I am not as cranky about that as I normally would be. "

    " This one surprised me. I didn't expect much and it turned out to have a lot of engaging twists and turns. Not the best writing and occasionally goes off on long, pointless bits of dialog but I enjoyed listening to it. "

    " As a fan of the Kellerman family writers (Jonathan & Faye are Jesse's parents), I'd hoped his novel would reflect some of the family talent. And it does, in a way...just not a talent for storytelling. "

    " This book had interesting parts, which made me want to continue reading. I wanted Gloria to find out what happened to Carl. The author took the long way around. I didn't enjoy the end, I think the author left us hanging. "

    " Another Jesse Kellerman book, that I was prepared to read. Although I finished it, it was a very far fetched book. A secretary chasing after a sketchy message she received from her boss...All in all, it was a good time killer. "
