I listened to this book on audio, and I think it would have been better in print. There were too many characters to recall, and it would have been easier to go back and look if I had forgotten which character was which. 

The twist in this book is so overdone that I was just frustrated more than anything. I read a LOT of thrillers and I swear this is the twist in half of the thrillers I read. I was disappointed in the lack of originality. 

Overall this book was okay. It was interesting enough but I wasn’t impressed by the twist, and I didn’t really like the whole concept of the motivation behind the plot.
