This suspense novel is truly well-written - the language is easy to follow, has a flow, and caught me right from the get-go; I had a terribly hard time putting the book down, for which reason I finished it in record time. A pure pleasure /.../ this is true top-notch entertainment! * Bognorden, (Denmark) *
