I had to finish it in one sitting! This book had me constantly trying to solve the puzzle myself.

This was extremely well written and researched. The technical details combined with the story telling made this an incredibly addicting adventure. This is the first book of the 80 I’ve went through on audible that i could not take a break from. I highly recommend this mystery.

A complex twist!

A complex twist that takes you on an adventure from a leisurely stroll in London to the beaches of Monaco. This book is cleverly written to tie a future world back to today’s monuments and landmarks. I particularly enjoyed the scene where Ethan Cross was trying to escape the ArcelorMittal Orbit monument in London. I was intrigued from the beginning to the end. Looking forward to the sequel!
