I may be in the minority here, but I am so very tired of authors employing the "twist" in "thrillers" - you know the one I'm talking about, the one that you can see coming for a mile off that is more like a slight bend in the road it's been done *that* many times before? Yeah, that's what this book is full of. By Chapter 3, I thought "Oh god, not another one of these*. Yet, I slogged through the whole ridiculous thing, because it was my BOTM pick and surely, they couldn't all have been crap, right? Wrong. It's been done so many times before that Johnny Carson as Carnac the Magnificent could hold this book up and recite all the twists and get them all right without ever cracking the spine, or being made aware of any aspect of the book beyond the blurb. If whoever wrote the blurb wants to give it a go, they should, because they managed to make a tired book with the same old plot sound new and refreshing.
