Desperate, and one of the few surgeons in the world skilled enough to take this job, Maggie enters his realm of unspeakable opulence and fulfills her end of the agreement. But when the patient suddenly disappears while still under her care, Maggie must become a fugitive herself—or she will be the next one who is…

Not your typical Harlan Coben book.

The book was too Hollywood. I like Reese Witherspoon and I like Harlan Coben but NOT together. I felt like the character Maggie was a little to fantastical and unrealistic in her adventures. She belongs in a mission impossible movie. I liked the story line of underground organ harvesting. I’m sure that has been going on for some time and believable. I love Harlan Cobens books and writing style. His genre is usually a little more down to earth and relatable characters. I didn’t love the collaboration with Reese.

WHAT A LISTEN!!

Buckle up! This story will not allow you to stop listening even though you think you really need to go to work…or make that appointment…or get to bed bc you are exhausted!! It’s THAT good! Didn’t end like I wanted, but I wish I could give it SIX STARS!

Be still my beating heart!

Yes!! This is the book I've been looking to read my whole dang life!! So good!! I couldn't stop listening! And the performances were so stellar that I could reach out and touch these characters! Listening to this book took me to my happy place and kept me guessing!!!

The narration.

I did like this book. Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and the other narrators did a really good job reading this. The book was good, though I wasn't blown away by the ending. A few surprises though. I do recommend.

Innovative but odd

The narrator was great. The plot was wild but rather odd. Lots going on but characters were not well developed.
