A typical Baldacci Action paced thriller. Not up to his standard mark though. I liked his Camel Club series much more.
The book starts with a cute couple, Jason and Sidney Archer, who are very much in love, and they have an adorable baby daughter. Suddenly, the husband is killed in a fiery plane crash, and Sidney's life is shattered. Jason is thought to be behind the plane crash, and an FBI team starts following Sidney everywhere. Not just the FBI there are some other people too who are stalking her because they need something from her house.
And Sidney starts discovering the truth little by little and then starts running for her life not knowing whom to trust.
The first half introduces soooo many characters that you really fail to make any kind of connection but as the book progresses the plot becomes much clear and it becomes hard to put down.
And Sidney' sob story about how she misses her husband and the in detail explanation of her crying, fainting, crying, looking at her daughter, crying, looking at her family pictures and some more crying is worse than a Hindi soap serial.
I actually had to flip a few pages whenever the author started about how miserable Sidney is feeling or how her eyes were becoming dry from crying. Who really cares?
If you can go past all this, the book is not all bad.
I rate it 5.5/10
