So much drama! I didn't expect this much drama, but poor Jack had some serious marriage problems. I will say that there was a lot that happened I didn't see coming. So this book kept me on the edge of my seat and off balance. I'm just ... in shock. Not sure if I really liked this or if I really hated it. I'll see what the next book brings me. ( )

There was a lot going on in this book, but I felt the author did a good job of pulling it together and making it believable. ( )

No. Way overboard. Having your MC accused of murdering a client in one book- sure. Having your MC accused of murdering a client in the very next book- way overboard. By then adding a psychotic wife, a demented mother-in-law, blood harvesting, a vengeful ex-girlfriend, and the Russian mafia, Grippando committed an unspeakable act of book-murder. I'm glad I've read a later book in the series to know that it gets better; based on this book alone, I would never pick up another thing this author wrote. ( )

My contention is that the first line of almost any book will tell you whether the read will be joyous or a dismal failure and this book said it on on page 1, with 15 words, and substantially proved the contention: "Outside her bedroom window, the blanket of fallen leaves moved--one footstep at a time." Simple words conveyed a whole lot more than one might expect even as one reads them for the first time, and the slight shiver they convey, sets the tone for this terrific thriller, populated with people you like, and people you don't without a wasted phrase and with a plot that keeps you up nights.
