Good mixture of politics and intrigue. It took a little time to get going, but was worth it.

This is one of my favourite books. Yes its dark but its also hopeful. Stella is a frustrating character. She projects an image of being successful and together but inside she is racked with guilt over her family and the bad choices she made when she was younger. She's also openly ambitious to the point where it seems she has given up any type of a social life. I was really hoping this would be one of those books that had a sequel but I guess it was not to be. I thought with this interesting a mix of characters it would practically write itself.

Not my favorites by Richard Patterson. I felt the story just kept going on and on and could've been shortened a good 100 pages. It did have a good twist at the end but it's slow reading to get there!
