A friend had suggested that I read this book, but I was skeptical due to it being outside the norm in reference to my genre of choice. Nevertheless, I purchased the book deciding to give it a read. To my own surprise, I found the writing to be very well delivered, and the words just flowed so smoothly together that it was a pleasure to turn each page. Okay,so the writing is outstanding but what about the story? Very well thought out and planned. There is a lot of mystery going on as well as criminal intent. I would really like to elaborate, but I not one who likes to write a review that becomes a spoiler alert for those who like to read reviews. The book is definitely worthwhile and is money well spent in my book (pun intended). I definitely will be reading more from this author. Thank you for the thrill ride!
