As always Mr. Baldacci writes characters that can make you want to double lock the door or adopt them! There is a touch of that moral question, "does lotteries help us pay for education?" or is it a way to make suckers of the poor? It is a suspenseful story about the setup of the national lottery and what if it was possible to "fix" it and if you could, how would you choose the winners? The evil character had a chilling depth and except for his tendency to kill anyone that doesn't go along with his plan, when it comes to the money, he honors his words.

The story line moves swiftly, the romance involved might be slightly contrite, but still leaves us with characters well developed. Mr. Baldacci's stories are rarely a disappointment and this one rates with the "good reads".
