Thank you so much to NetGalley, Harlequin/Park Row, and Mary Kubica for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review. Overall, this made me smile a lot, it was a very quick read, and as with Thomas’ other works, gave me some food for thought. And I have to say, in all the thrillers I’ve read, I’ve never witnessed that before, so it was completely original.
