Amazing
I absolutely love this series and the amazing cast of characters. Reznick is the closest literary character I’ve found to Jack Bauer- and I love that. Awesome supporting characters (the hacker, Lauren, and of course, Martha) make this a great, well-developed thrill ride.
Perhaps my favorite element of this one was the “come full circle” part of the villain- bc I knew we hadn’t seen the end of him!

Suspenseful and full of twists, the novel tells a story about how far a father can go to save the life of his daughter when she’s in danger especially when it’s because of his job and what that entails.
I love Palma and it’s nice to read about favourite places in books and all the times the hero was talking about food, I was remembering all the savours from the island.
This wasn’t my first book in the series and it’s definitely not the last because, like previous ones, it’s well written and a must read suspenseful crime novel for any lover of the genre.

I gave it 4 stars because it is a good story but I did have one problem with this book, it is the same problem I have had with this entire series, the storyline is just too unrealistic. I know it is fiction but even with fiction, I like the story to have the feel of realism. The book has the feel of exaggeration to the event taking place. Without giving away too much, in the past, Jon Reznick stopped the bad guy from "achieving greatness". So, as retaliation, the bad guy blows up a boat killing one person and maiming a top CIA operative, blows up a house, kills a dozen people, all to try to get back at Jon from stopping him. Seems an easier route would have been to just attempt the same thing a second time. Also, because the maimed person was a top operative the top secret organizations are trying to keep it from the press, so they are trying to keep Jon out of the loop. How do they do this? They drug Jona and look him up in jail (Jon has to break out), and then later they tell Jon they can't help him because the have rules they have to follow? Really? Anyways...the entire book just seemed like one overaction after another to the event taking place.
