As a writer, I pride myself on predicting plot twists before they happen.
With this book? I didn't have a hope in hell!
Jeffery Deaver is a master at weaving an intriguing page-turner that kept me guessing until the end.
And I did NOT see the major plot twists in the last 25% of the book coming AT ALL!!!
Great read.
Another great Jeffery Deaver thriller! It really built up intensity and excitement as numerous twists and turns took the story to its climax. A worthy follow-up to The Bone Collector.
