This book is poorly written and borders on fantastical. However, I admit that I enjoyed listening to it while doing chores...
fast-paced

I'm used to Ken Folletts historical books but this was a good change. A little bit of a predictable story line, but good

Ken Follett needs to stick to historic novels as this attempt at thriller just didn't work. The plot was full of holes and implausible situations. Why were the children included? What was the point of the descriptions of teen fumbling between Craig & Sophie? As to the romance between Toni and her boss, that felt wrong and totally out of place.

The ending is disappointing and lacks the fierceness of the rest of the story. While the plot manages to hold the readers' attention, the ending is just boring. It feels as if it was swapped by a poorly written telenovela or soap opera.
