Reviews

[Robbie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was so dark I could barely read it. I rated it 3 stars but was tempted to rate it less; it was just too depressing.

This was Raymond Benson's first thriller since his 007 tenure. This novel follows the life of Diane Boston's life through her son David's narration. This thriller contains a trademark Benson twist. It's a hold on tight edge of your seat thrill ride. The material in this book is an adult nature. What a book. It's a quick quality read.

A wild and crazy story! Entertaining even though it was so improbable. A little too much repetition in spots. Quick read. Somewhat explicit, although considering some of the topics it could have been worse.

Could not put it down! What a story and a complete surprise ending. Characters were great and story line was fascinating. Thank you to the author Raymond Benson for the gift of this book. Loved it!

Absolute garbage, worst Benson book I've read. Don't waste your time on this one.
