Overall, the storyline was good. Even though I ultimately figured out who the kidnapper was, there were times throughout the book that I suspected other people. 

Parts of this book drug on too much for my liking, making it hard to stay engaged and focus on what I was reading. And I hated the ending cliffhanger with no indication of another book being in the works.
