Jessie's Thoughts

Rating

Positive
The fast pace - it kept me turning the pages.
The hostage drama scenes - tense!
The likeable character, Michael Bennett - husband, father, star detective and negotiator.

Negative
Michael Bennett's wife Maeve dying of cancer - tears make me blotchy.
Too many children - doesn't ring true.
Disappointing ending - not enough of a twist.
