Would like to give this more than 3 stars and thought about it BUT it is kind of confusing--there are so many characters because there are two storylines going. Kat, the detective, should probably be a good detective but her Dad was a cop and killed years ago but she can't drop the fact the killer was in prison and dying from cancer so she has one more time to 'talk' to him, then it's a shock to hear he only took the blame for the murder of her Dad but he didn't kill him, so that is one storyline going with her now trying to 'solve' the mystery of who killed her Dad. The other storyline is about a 'catfish' using the internet dating sites to kidnap people then using them to steal their money ,etc. and murder them, etc.

What I found to be 'wrong' with this book is that it is too long and there are just too many pages and pages of descriptions that could've been shortened so I ended up skipping and skimming pages that didn't hold any interesting storyline info but just page filler descriptions not needed. So for 400 pages it could've been cut down to 350 or less and maybe made the story move along a little better.

The end result of who murdered her Dad was a surprise to me, I didn't have that one figured out and the end result of the catfish, I thought, was kind of left unfinished by not giving a satisfying result.

I like Coben much much better than Stuart Woods, in fact I don't read Woods books at all anymore, I wouldn't say to not read this one because I think it was okay but it's just a little too long, I read it in a day but it would be easy to put down and do something else, I didn't find it a 'thriller'.
