Tension builds from the start, surprisingly, as it is mainly a story of a girl who works in an office. The author is a talented writer and came up with an unusual story. There is a some word play and some other things in the book that I'm not sure I fully understand and have left me thinking.

I couldn't get into it, but a Tom Clancy fan would probably like it better. I only read the first 50 pages or so - rest of the book is untouched.

Should have read the first book on Liz Sansborough, I think it's "The Masquerade" by Gayle Lynds first....If I had, I would have enjoyed this book more. It's not a sequel per se, but does refer to the first book often.

While not as good as the Da Vinci code (what is?) it's still a great Da Vinci style book, and covered an area of history I knew little about.

Great book; wonderful book about 3 pregnant women who become friends, and their first year of raising their babies. I wasn't quite prepared for a book about first time motherhood, but I just love Jennifer Weiner and this is a great book by her.

This was a good book, but lacked the rich character development of the Outlander novels. Still anything that gives me a bit more of the Outlander characters can't help but be good!

A fun cross between historical fiction and chick lit. I really enjoyed it, as a fun, pass the time kind of book. Doesn't get deep into the history side, but more skims the facts on Napoleonic France.
