Not one of Baldacci's best. It was entertaining enough, but the premise was 'thin'. Might be the start to a decent series with female heroes though.

In order to get any enjoyment out of this you have to suspend your disbelief that a street-smart former cop with two young children in the house would allow herself to be manipulated by a stalker instead of getting the cops involved.

It was ok. Just not a fan of the way he portrayed a female lead. It sounds like a dude writing a chick part. Which it is. Just my opinion. I love most of the rest of his books.

Love a female lead that goes through this thriller ride. I enjoyed this one and look forward to more in this series.

I really really liked this story. It was really heavy at times, but I’m excited to see how this series progresses.

One of the cheesiest books I’ve ever read. Dialogue felt like 13 year olds wrote it after watching Law and Order for the first time. Last 40 pages or so were the best part, only thing that redeemed it from a 1 to a 2.
