I could barely put this book down. I love the way the author wove together the present story with glimpses of the past. It also had just the right ratio of danger to problem solving, so the situation never felt too hopeless. Overall I thought it was very well done and an enjoyable read.

Its rather heavy on the domestic/sexual abuse. Its also based around being hostages in a bank robbery.
