Silva, like all my favorite authors (Connelly, Sandford, Berenson) has reoccurring characters who jump fully fleshed out immediately upon reading their names. It gives me a feeling of familiarity that I believe is hard to do for a…

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one. The pacing was very good. It seemed funnier than other works by Silva. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
