If you are looking for a non-stop action roller-coaster ride—this is the series for you.
I love this Series.
Twists and turns that just might keep you guessing.
What a great book! Takes you along for a ride that you don’t want to end. Highly recommended.
Good read with a twist to the ending..
Like the first two John Rockne books, I enjoyed this one for the most part. I must admit, I didn’t have quite as many editing issues as I did in the first two, but this one felt more thrown together. I almost got the impression that Mr Ames had a story he wanted to tell and he had a great beginning and a great ending. He just wasn’t sure how to get the middle worked out. I really like the character of John Rockne and the little bit we see of his relationship with his wife Anna. I would like to see her more fully developed, but I’m not sure it will happen. The one thing I really have to give Mr Ames credit for is the ability to write characters that I REALLY don’t like. The Spook in books 1 & 2 was bad but Clay Hitchfield is a whole other animal. I have most of the John Rockne stories and I’m hoping they will improve as far as editing and character development. I’d really like to be able to give one of them a 5 star rating. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to yet, but I’m holding on to hope.
Didn’t finish this book
Since I grew up in the Detroit area, I enjoyed reading this book. The author references places, streets, etc., that I knew. The story line is well written & held my interest.
I am sure some like creepy stories around child abuse and sex trafficking but I don’t.
A good read as you wait for a flight at an airport… can be done in about 3 hrs…
On a suspense/thriller scale of 1-10, I would give it a 7.
The book was too short to develop a good plot. I would not recommend it.
I thought it was a ok,read, an easy read.
I enjoyed it….
This book was a real page turner. I couldn’t stop reading.
Dan Ames has yet to disappoint.
Ok
It was a good read and the descriptions of the issues in Detroit were interesting.
This book kept me interested.
A fun read.
It was confusing to switch between characters as you go from chapter to chapter.
When the book downloaded, it only downloaded 2 chapters. It had a lot of pages with acknowledgements , and dedications but when I started reading, there was only two chapters . Hard to judge a book on two chapters. Very disappointing !
