From the New York Times bestselling author of The Quiet Boy comes a speculative, corporate espionage thriller that takes the adage "Time is money," and makes it literally, frighteningly so.
What if time could be taken from us—the minutes, the hours, the years of our lives, extracted like organs taken for transplant? What would it mean for the world? And what would it do to the person from whom it’s taken?
Grace Berney is a mid-level bureaucrat in the Food and Drug Administration, a woman who once brimmed with purpose but somehow turned into a middle-aged single mom with a dull government job and a melancholy sense that life has passed her by. Until the night a strange photo comes across her desk, of a young woman in a hospital bed who has been subjected to a mysterious procedure. Against orders and against common sense, Grace sets out to bring the girl to safety, and finds herself risking her job, her future, and her life on whether she can find the missing girl before an obsessive and violent mercenary who’s also looking. Big Time is a fast-paced thriller and a metaphysical mystery about the very nature of our lives.

narration was good
writing style was… unpolished (characters seemed "stiff" - they seemed to be there just to move the story along without actually being present in it)
interesting premise, good narration

While some facets were predictable they were in an endearing way, felt like a mix and homage to episodic mysteries the likes of X-Files and Fringe.
Enjoyed the immediate immersion into action, the characters, pacing, and even resolution.
Really enjoyed this surprise find that was off my radar

Mystery, a victim on the run, identity questions...the book is great, but I give it 4 stars because it took the entire first half of the book to really get into the story. Too much background to start, especially around Grace. It's worth the read; It's just not as great as his "Last Policeman" trilogy which I loved!
Liked this one a lot

The narration is just over the top. - caricatures . Cartoonish / sitcom like narration that made the character tropes unbearable . The narrator is fine but the approach was a terrible choice . Needed an actual literary producer .
Least favorite Winters work - awful narration
