Review:

I love a good crime/mystery book and this one did not let me down. The book was very interesting but it did not capture my attention fully. I could not get lost in the book. I kept getting distracted. The book is around 200 pages and what normally would only take couple hours to read too over 4 hours.
While I admit that the book was interesting and has, a great plot with well-developed characters a couple of the editing errors had me wondering who actually edited the book. Especially with one of the main characters always able to come out on top. I find it hard to believe that one person no matter what type of background is able to outwit their attackers. However, this is fiction and anything is possible in fiction.
Reading this book will take you from Florida to New York to Ohio into Canada and Zurich. It is a whirlwind trip lasting a few days at each place. The challenges of this plot are different and not something I have read about before. The challenges are what make a book interesting and this book had plenty of challenges.
If you are looking for something that will take, you on a traveling whirlwind, with characters facing many challenges, then check out this book. Just watch out for the ending, it is real mind blowing. Something I totally did not expect.
Thanks for an interesting read John.
The bunnies and I give this book 4 carrots.
