objectively it was really good and it definitely wasn’t one of those predictable thrillers to me but for some reason I just wasn’t really super invested in the main character or the story?? prob like a 3.5

An incredibly gripping thriller by Charlie Donlea! I was impressed by the character development and, phew! the twists!
I really enjoyed reading this book, as I have with others by Donlea.
I found myself guessing (and guessing wrong), but mostly just enjoying the journey.
When the book opens with September 11th, I was really worried it was going to be a tyraid of American patriotism and the scape goating of innocent Islamic people. I was more than pleasantly surprised to find a complete lack of both of those things. The words "terrorism" and "anti-terrorism" came up probably less than 7 times.
Overall, I recommend it!
