I really liked this book until the last CD or two. I then noticed that the characters constantly used the name of the person that they were speaking to in the dialogues. It got to be so annoying to me that I had a hard time following the story line as it was so distracting. Other than that, it was a good storyline.

I agree with the reviewer above, Cheri L. If I never hear the name "Charlie" again, it'll be too soon! Very good story, though. I figured I'd like Andrew Gross since I enjoyed the books he co-authored with James Patterson, and I was right. I actually think Andrew Gross does better on his own.
Great story, kept me wanting to get back in the car to listen. Enjoyed it very much.
If you like James Patterson you will like this book. It has an element of suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I really enjoyed the surprises of this book. The synopsis tells you the storyline, but there are several twists and turns that throw you for a loop.
The only thing that bothered me was the way the author constantly has whoever is speaking, use the other person's name over and over again. For example only:
'Why did you really agree to help me Ty?'
'Because Karen, I fell in love with you during our first interview.'
'Ty, I don't want you to go with me.'
'Then at least take the gun, Karen.'
Seriously, it becomes very annoying. What is the purpose to continuously use their name? Don't they know who they're talking to or does the author think the reader is forgetting to whom the speaker is addressing? Very frustrating.

A good on for long road trips. Not great literature but you are always guessing "who is it really". And all the questions are answered!

Predictable.
