This book was just okay, it took awhile to get into it. Will meets Elle while he is on assignment for his travel magazine, which takes him all over the world. Though he rejects her advances the first time, she makes sure they meet again and Will's life will never be the same.
Will is married to Chloe, who works for the same magazine but in different departments. One of them is always out of the country and Will doesn't know if he's living the kind of life he really wants.
The story unfolds with some confusion as there are so many characters, I had to go back to see who was who. The plot was too unbelievable and convoluted and I skimmed through lots of pages, but the last quarter became exciting and I rushed to the end.
Not as good as the author's last two books, but worth the read..

This is my second book by Mr. Pavone, you can tell his writing style has improved since The Ex-Pats. I really enjoyed this spy thriller. There were some crazy twists; who is bad, who is good, who loves who. For awhile there I felt like there was just too much going on, too many plots, but Pavone does a great job of wrapping it up like a birthday present to the reader. In fact, it's almost too perfect, but I'm not complaining. I enjoyed Will. I felt for him. His entire world gets turned around; job, wife, boss, friends. But, was he that in the dark? I actually really liked most of the characters, enough to hope that some of the secondary characters with lots of unanswered questions pop up in future Pavone books. I am going to keep reading Pavone's works and I suggest you do so as well if you enjoy a fast-paced thrill ride.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
I found this book to be well written with a complex plot with unexpected twists that keeps you engaged until the last page. Although the book had a slow start, it really took off at the mid-way point and I had a hard time putting it down until I found out the truth as it unraveled at the end. I found the characters to be well-drawn and especially could identify with Will Rhodes who continually questioned who he was working for as he traveled the globe. The major theme of the novel touched on honestly in relationships and why people lie to one another. I am looking forward to reading another book by Chris Pavone in the very near future and would highly recommend this book to those who love great spy thrillers.
