Publisher's summary

Lauren Stillwell isn't your average damsel in distress.

When the NYPD cop discovers her husband leaving a hotel with another woman, she decides to beat him at his own game. But her revenge goes dangerously awry, and she finds her world spiraling into a hell that becomes more terrifying by the hour.

In a further twist of fate, Lauren must take on a job that threatens everything she stands for. Now, she's paralyzed by a deadly secret that could tear her life apart. With her job and marriage on the line, Lauren's desire for retribution becomes a lethal inferno as she fights to save her livelihood - and her life.

Patterson takes us on a twisting roller-coaster ride of thrills in his most gripping novel yet. This story of love, lust, and dangerous secrets will have listeners' hearts pounding.

A Wild Ride

Fast paced, entertaining, edgy, with a bit of a "Beach House" feel. Narrator makes otherwise maddening (ala making one questionable decision after the other) main character sound tolerable, particularly at the end, where she and an interesting friend sound as though they could spin off into a sequel ... and I for one hope they do.

Simply Fantastic

This is the book which made me a fan of James Patterson. This title was fast paced and full of surprises. Once I started listening I never stopped until I finished...on the same day.

A Great Read

OK, so the premise of the book is REALLY improbable, but, hey, since when do we read mystery/thrillers for realistic plots? I loved this book. It kept me wanting to find out "what in the world now?" was going to happen next. It was one of those audio books I listened to with real relish. Enjoy!

The Quicky

Very good Book. Started as a "Love Story", which I would rather not listen too. Then went in many directions from there. Very, very good book.
