OrangeReviewStarTaryn Young cannot believe her good fortune. Barely three months ago she met Francis Shepherd, the man of her dreams, and now she will be traveling with him to Puerto Rico on their honeymoon. Before they can board their plane, though, the Houston airport terminal is bombed. Taryn is injured, her husband is missing, and the FBI considers the couple their prime suspects in the explosion, although agent Grayson Hall believes Taryn might have been set up.
VERDICT In her series launch, the Christy Award-winning Mills ("Call of Duty" series) skillfully builds a menacing overall tone, and the tension level rises as layers of lies are peeled away in multiple plot twists. This novel, which takes off at a breakneck pace with a narrative arc that could have been ripped from today's headlines, will greatly appeal to fans of James Patterson's "Alex Cross" series and readers who enjoy psychological thrillers.
