I have not read Lincoln Child's books and apparently this was not a good one to start with. I was bored to the point where I read 150 pages and then brought the book back to the library. I was disappointed with the slooooow plot development, the annoying hangers at the end of the chapters that are not revealed in following chapter or even the chapter following it. Thrillers are my genre, but this book was not my cup of tea......
