Thoughts

I just found this one really readable, once I started it was so hard to put it down. Just like with the previous two, it can be a bit graphic in places but overall a great story. I couldn’t see how there was going to be a happy ending, and there almost wasn’t, but in the end everything worked out very well.

One thing Jennings does with great skill is build the tension and the drama, it really does live up to its category of thriller, but underneath it all, it’s also a love story. Very well done.

Rating: 5 / 5
