This was a solid brain-candy thriller. The writing is fairly strong, and the story is an easy enough read that I read essentially the whole thing while home sick with the flu. 

Gave it the rating I did because although I found several elements predictable I didn't find it boring and I had a good time reading it. Will probably also forget all about it in a week or two. All in all, would recommend this as a solid way to spend a day when you have nothing else to do (beach read, rainy day read, sick day read... whenever you have a day to fill with easy entertainment)
