This is hard to rate because it was an exciting read, but the story is very flawed. The two interweaving plots are both fast-paced and intriguing, but their link and all of the complicating factors feel forced and rushed. I guess I would have preferred either a book twice as long with the rushed story threads fully fleshed out or a simplified plot with a tighter conclusion. I enjoy her writing very much so I would still say it's worth picking up, just be ready to roll with the punches.

I discussed this book with the author over at the All the Books Show podcast. Listen in here: https://soundcloud.com/allthebooks/author-interview-tess-gerritsen
