For me, this was a hard book to read. I loved it nonetheless. Difficult as it was, it was so hard to put down. I had to know the outcomes and I absolutely could not predict them. The characters were so well revealed that I felt I new them personally. At times I prayed for them and encouraged them and cautioned them when I thought they were wrong. If you like a good mystery, if you enjoy very deep character portrayals and you can wait patiently for more to be revealed in the story's own time, I think you'll enjoy this book too. I'm breathlessly waiting for more from this brilliant author! The narration was perfectly done, an excellent fit for this story and these characters.

Another twisty mystery swirls around one of my favorite detectives! Reilly is brilliant, so self assured and centered on his objective. I would hate to be a criminal in one of his investigations!

I've read 10 of Tami Hoag's books and loved them. Wanting more of her wonderful characters and twisted stories, I selected this title. Yuck! The story moved slowly and there was so much sex that was entirely irrelevant to the story. It felt like reading some weird combination of a mystery thriller and a romance novel. I kept reading this annoying story because I wanted to know whodunnit. The ending, without spoiling the story for the rest of you, was a profound disappointment to me.

This was such a delightful ride thru the 20th century. I loved every minute spent with Alan on his lifetime of adventurous journeys. It’s a very clever story, so endearing, and very well narrated too.

Chris Voss writes about negotiation in the most understandable and exciting manner. His real world stories are fascinating and demonstrate his points beautifully. This book, IMHO, is a must read!

I loved the way the characters' stories were woven together so smoothly, seamlessly, beautifully. The tale was so engaging, with unexpected twists & turns so perfectly paced to keep this readers attention constantly. I loved it. Now I want more!

I've got to agree with other reviewers that this story was too short. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it was just an appetizer. Now that my appetite has been whetted, I want more! Dear Amy Tan, are you listening? I'm feeling kind of teased, but maybe that was the point, it's part of the courtesan's repertoire?

Short as it is, I do recommend this tasty morsel.
