Decent read for a cheap Kindle book. The ending is predictable, and I think the story would have been enhanced if 20% of the storyline was edited out. Can see this becoming a movie (I spent most of the time casting roles for a movie while I read the book.).
Bit of a slow start, but a perfectly good genre workout. And only 99 cents!
