Review: I didn't love the ending in this book, but I'm still "Highly Recommending" because I liked the way the story unfolded. The characters were "mostly" likeable too, which is a bonus in a thriller.

I've been having trouble focusing while reading this year, probably because my life is very busy with one daughter graduating high school and the other entering her senior year, but this captured my attention quickly (and held it).
