Happily married then husband gets killed in a bombing? Events leading up to husband's secrets, enough to keep you reading and reading until you realize you finished the book! Over a hundred chapters but chapters are short and you just keep turning the pages.

Written in a similar style to Patterson, this is a very good story line and characters you can grow attached to. The female is strong and stays pretty strong. It is a relevant story that you could imagine happening today. Fast paced and not so easy to solve in advance. I continue to enjoy this author and will keep him on my wish list.

I've read books that Andrew Gross co-authored with James Patterson, and I was anxious to read one of his very own. I was absolutely not disappointed! This book was fast-paced and grabbed me from the get-go! And it didn't hurt that it had a little sexual magnetism between the main characters going on:)

I liked this book very much. Great suspense - the author wrote very well in keeping the suspense going - was not an easy book to guess the ending. So far, I have liked his individual books, and think he is a great partner with James Patterson.

A great mystery. Andrew Gross collaborated with James Patterson on a few books. His own works are just as good. The Blue Zone was the first of his I read. Enjoyed them both!
Helpful Score: 1
Really great book. I enjoyed a lot. It was published in 2008 yet Gross captured a hauntingly prophetic situation regarding our current economic problems of government and Wall Street corruption.
Fast paced and entertaining. A really good book with an interesting ending. Andrew Gross is an excellent writer and spins a really good yarn.
I loved this book. Truly one that kept me on the edge of my seat. The detective isn't actually believable, not bigger than life as is the case with so many books.
Loved this book! Plan to read more of this author!
