Ratings and reviews

I'm bailing out of reading this book at the 88% read point because it's "jumped the shark" in terms of unbelievable plot twists. I just can't suspend disbelief in this story any more. It was already bothering me in other aspects of the storytelling but the coincidences piled on enigmas are too great.

Fraught with so much tension and suspense the anticipation at times had me on the edge of my seat and my heart pounding! When is all is revealed it is done so in spectacular fashion. Jeffrey is definitely a master of leading you down one path only to pull the rug out from underneath you! I was definitely not expecting that outcome!
