I brought this with me on a business trip to the motor city and wished I had brought the 2nd and 3rd book to read as I ripped my way through it. I could just as easily be reading it on the beach or in front of a fire. Terrific read no matter the time of year.This is a book you can't put down. Compelling is the word that comes to mind. There are enough twist and turns and angst to satisfy any reader. This action thriller had beautifully poignant moments that I actually teared up at one point.I can't wait to curl up with more novels from this author.Not to give anything away but the ending was terrific!
