    When we went on holiday this year in April, I expected to be staying for a week. However, courtesy of Iceland and its volcano spurting a giant ash cloud over Europe, we found ourselves staying for thirteen days. There were not very many of us staying at the hotel so we all easily became good friends and we decided that we would a swap books as few of us had brought enough reading matter to last the extra days, and since we were advised not to leave the hotel in case of updates, there was little else to do except lounge by the pool and read (whilst sampling the free all inclusive bar!)

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very addictive, a crime plot well organised and the strong bond of an almost broken family.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too predictable at times.

    I am addicted to crime books including James Patterson. This book, to me was very well written with a plot well thought. An organised crime that leaves you thinking and wondering who are the people whom you can really believe and count on. A story about family conflict, love and betrayal. This book however is a bit different from most of James Patterson books. A new approach in his books but the suspence are still the same that leaves you wanting to read more. A remarried widow with troubled kids that tried to save the family bond by organising a family vacation. Living a rich and famous ... more
