Ruth Ware isn't a sure bet author for me - we have a very tenuous relationship of hits or misses. But MAN was this a hit for me. Hired as a penetration specialist, Jack is uniquely qualified for infiltration and extraction. She just didn't expect to be escaping her life as she knew it. Between the mysterious countdown of days as chapter titles, the twists and turns as the plot unfolds, and the high octane writing, this is a definite win for thriller fans. It's definitely a departure from her slow and winding mysteries, rather full of action and travel. I really hope that she sticks with this style for future books, because I could get used to this.
