Jeffery Deaver took on a more unconventional route with this book, dealing with cyberspace. I am not a fan of computer crimes and stuff like that, so perhaps i am not being fair by giving it a 3 star rating. There were still twists and turns that I have come to expect from Jeffery Deaver. I am also very impressed with how he surreptitiously managed to sow seeds of the plot of his next novel in the one before. I like how the romantic side of the book is notching it up, and I am waiting eagerly for the next Kathryn Dance thriller.
