Thought I had the book figured out with the overall “plot twist’ but wasn’t prepared for the others. Great writing that propels you to keep reading til you know the end.

3.5 this was a good thriller but the twists were just a bit too predictable to give it a 4.

I hated this book.  I hated that the Asian women were typecast as exotic dancers.  I hated the reference to the Sherman’s and all the dropping of Toronto street names , I didn’t like the characters and found this to be very unlike the authors other books.

Wow. It’s so hard to say that you like a book with such difficult and potentially triggering themes, however, this story captivated me and was full of twists and turns. Very enthralling, some likable and some despicable characters, and definitely holds your attention throughout. I reviewed the audiobook version for NetGalley, and the narrator was fantastic.
