Another reviewer said that she had mixed emotions about this book and I agree 100%. There were over 300 pages of hunter and huntee floundering around in the woods at night, which was unrealistic and got pretty tiring. Okay, we get it already. Yet, in spite of those irritations (such as our heroine letting her son get away with lying and skipping school, and she herself lying to her husband), there were several good twists and surprises. The heroine was not likeable to me and at times I found myself rooting for the bad guys, but some of the other characters were good. Definitely not one of my favorite Jeffery Deaver books, but I'll read another one of his to give him a second chance.
