Another good Patrick Bower thriller. I wish the narrator would get another voice for Tessa. She sounds stilted and like a whiny brat.

Gripping

I loved the Pawn so much and this was a suitable sequel but not as good. There weren't any major gripe another than that way the narrator pronounced "rook" for every character. It drove me crazy. I love his narration aside from that one complaint. I'm excited to go through the rest of the series.

Good, not as Good as The Pawn

If you love James Patterson's crime novels but not the body details, graphic sex or foul language, you'll love this series.

Alex Cross w\o all the sex & language.

This book held my attention well but I expected more of a spiritual uplift from an inspirational publisher.

Exciting but spiritually anemic

I wasn't overly thrilled with the male narrator's attempt at female voices.. Everything else was great
