Stayed up all night to finish this book....James Patterson move over cause this book is a winner...waiting patiently for his next book....hurry up. -Mona ... Liked It as well as James Patterson novels. Don't read it at the beach or you are sure to get sunburned- I did. I loved the characters it was so descriptive you feel like you know everyone. Lots of action- always something happening- I love the surprise twists. All my friends are reading it now because I wouldn't talk to them until I finished it so they knew it was good. This is my new favorite author! -Sue ... Great Read! Couldn't put it down. Great character development. Interesting plot that has the reader guessing the entire time. Writing style is original, but could be compared to David Baldacci, or James Patterson. I read this book in one sitting, because I kept needing know what happened next. Michael Carrier has knocked it out of the park with the 'Getting to Know Jack' series. -John ... Thoroughly enjoyed this read -kept me turning page after page! Good character development and captivating plot. -Terry If you like James Patterson, you'll enjoy all of Michael Carrier's novels in the Getting to Know Jack series. These riveting thrillers will keep you turning pages all the way to the shocking end. --Cascade Writer's Group The characters were really good. Connelly and Baldacci should approve--Dave If you like James Patterson and Michael Connelly, you'll love Michael Carrier. Carrier has proven that he can hang with the best of them (seriously- we're talking Patterson and Connelly) with his newest book. It has all of the great, edge-of-your-seat action and suspense that you'd expect in a good thriller, and it kept me guessing to the very end. Fantastic read with an awesome detective duo--I couldn't put it down! Can't wait to read the next one! --by Katie
