It started off so slow and I had a tough time connecting to any of the characters. Near the middle, they started to gel, but there were many and with competing agendas. The ones not to like were the two assassins...yes, two of them...one too many for the usual thriller. Too many dead bodies all around the town,. The plot was reasonable, but you can read that elsewhere. On the down side, the crazy professor adds a feral dog named "Hobo" to his facial recognition software. YGBSM. (

It's the human element...the stories of two young women trying to reclaim their lives, that makes the story so compelling and keeps the pages turning. The insurance investigator has a difficult time getting anyone to take her seriously when she says it was NOT an accident. Her experience as a stunt car driver should have helped her cause but she still had a struggle on her hands and a fight that almost cost her life. The characters are interesting...unique... and yes...flawed...but in the most ingenious ways. Allowing them to adapt and grow as the situations grow more and more intense is one of this author’s greatest talents. Don’t be in a rush to get to the finish, just enjoy a remarkable story. (

This was my first book by Michael Koryta...enjoyable but long winded. I sort of feel the book could’ve ended a bit before it did, although it never hit the word boring.
I did not find the story that original, and I just feel sort of neutral about it. But I believe I’ll try another one of his books because I have read such great things about his books. (

I have to give this 4 stars for the pure entertainment value. The perspectives from all the different characters as they raced to figure out what happened, to save themselves or get rid of threats kept this book moving fast. This is my third book by this author and I think I definitely need to read more of his books. (

Way to take one of my irrational fears and bringing it to life. (
