Wow! This book had lots of twists and turns to keep me engaged, and turning pages. The main character winds up in a hostage situation, and the story keeps you on your toes. The writing was very alive, and vivid, and super-detailed - in other words, really well-written! It made me want to look up this author (who I was not aware of before I read this book) to see what else they've written. It's one of those un-put-down-able books, and an excellent read!
