    <body><![CDATA[Lee Child's brother wrote a fun little book with a nice twist and some scary bad guys but I just couldn't warm to the protagonist, David Trevalian nor did I warm to the narrator. I would compare this book to books by Tedd Bell and Ludlum and Grant falls way short of their bar.<br/><br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What I learned from this book:  than an author can combine about 4 short stories into one long book and if he is good--it comes together with a powerful ending.  This book just stopped....and the bad girl didn't even get killed or caught.  Perhaps there will be a sequel.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Grant is Lee Child's brother and it shows. Same character, lone gunmen, able to solve all problems while others fumble. Spoiler alert: I picked up on the fact that the female journalist was a plant, while the main character did not until the end, a bad plot device. Hopefully, the series will get bet...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62915897">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Maybe it's me but I found the plot to be overly complicated.  The sadistic scenes were gross.  I don't think I have much desire to get &quot;even&quot; so this book just didn't resonate with me in any way.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This fast paced mystery reminded me of a Robert Ludlum novel. I can't say I was on the edge of my seat and it could be a bit gruesome, but it held my attention with interesting plot twists.]]></body>
