Wow, oh wow! Received this book today on my kindle and saw where James Patterson said this was his best book in years. Now, James Patterson is one of my favorite authors and I thoroughly enjoy his books, but I have to agree that this is one of the best he has written. I think he and David Ellis did a superb job! Simply could not put this book down. Totally riveting story. I really hated for it to end but I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a fantastic book.
Love any and everything by Patterson Love any and everything by Patterson. I got it tonight and I have read half of the book. Great read!
One of James Patterson’s best !!!!! Downloaded it today, read it today. It’s just that good. It has everything you need in a great mystery-twists and turns, romance, secrets, intrigue, betrayals at the highest level,not to mention a set of interesting characters.. I have to say, I was sure by 25% into the book, I knew who was behind all of this. But so much happened in the book, I was about to change my mind. In the end I was right but there’s a twist at the end that will really blow your mind.Â
