Everything
about this book says "standard thriller fare." But it's
done with such skill on the part of the author that it is greater
than the sum of the parts. It's not the "kind" of book I
would recommend - yet I do recommend this one, and not just because
of the strong premise. The love interest between the two protagonists
is predictable and borderline Romance-Novel drivel - and yet it works
wonderfully, really tugging at the heart strings effectively,
especially at the end. The development takes its sweet time, and I
kept expecting to get tired of reading - but the narrative continued
to pull me in. Yes: recommended. Just don't expect it to be a
blockbuster; accept it for what it is.
