A huge disappointment. The synopsis was intriguing, but the book itself was awful. What a shame because I used to really like this author. It was clear to me that she didn't even try with this one. That happens sometimes with best-selling authors, once they've written a few good books they figure anything with their name on it will sell afterwards. I can't believe it got 4 out of 5 stars??? For the life of me, I can't figure out why??? Maybe the first and the last couple of chapters were interesting. But everything in between was boring and like pulling teeth to get a story out of it. I fell asleep at least a dozen times listening to it, out of sheer boredom. The narrator didn't help matters, since she couldn't pronounce the name "Jacque". She called him "JOCK"!!! It should have sounded like"Jack", not "Jock". Bad narrators can ruin even the best of books, and this one didn't need any help being awful. Sorry, but I have no clue why anyone liked this dry / boring book. I thought it was a waste of time and money. Big disappointment. Think I'm done with Iris Johansen books. Don't think I'd listen to another of her books even if it were free, it wasn't worth the time I wasted on it! What a shame, because in the past decade prior, her books were good. She doesn't even bother to try now.
