My Review:

I don't think I have read a book by this author before. I think I picked a good one to get acquainted with. Rob has been dead for ages, till he wasn't. Boy was that a shock! Then there's Susie. Did she know the whole time? What is happening here? It only took a few pages to captive me. I'd call this a spy thriller. It has all sort of little twists and turns. I don't enjoy some books of this type, but I like this one.
