kmaceadie says: I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed this one very much. To me, James Patterson is a hit or miss author. Sometimes he gets them right and this is one of those times. This is a stand-alone and one of the best he has ever written. The plot line is tight and moves at a neck-breaking speed. The ending is a total shocker, at least for me it was.I won't give away too much but what I will tell you is that if you should decide to read this book, you will not be disappointed. I calls 'em as I sees 'em and this one is a winner. dede says: Four women take off on the trip of a lifetime girls only weekend in Monte Carlo. To say it doesn't turn out as planned would be an understatement!There were a few parts, especially in the beginning, where you just want to shake your head as it is just too far fetched. I did enjoy this book & the narration by the main character, Abbie. An easy read, great for a vacation - I got through it in a few days of sporadic reading.
Enjoyed this book. The prison scenes were horrendous and really hope that women weren't treated like this in reality.

And I forgot to add that James should give LOOOONG rest to his heroines who again, as always, are middle aged, in their 40s, but ALWAYS with looks and figures that would make Helen of Troy, envious, realty totally ridiculous-
Stop it !!

This was far more interesting to read than the others which I justly criticzed; BUT the scene of debauchery on the yacht by intelligent normally respectable married society women of good reputations, was NOT at all realistic nor believable
I'll stay away from France from now on; even though the scenes were vastly hyperbolic---
And the sadistic guards were not punished-which they richly deserved; they were actually vicious brutal multiple murderers !!

A good read. 2nd time I've read this book. Should have been made into a movie. I'm a huge James Patterson fan.

its a good sunny day read.. Not much of a mystery as u figure out the plot in the beginning itself.. but still enjoyed reading it.

I so enjoyed this read, it had everything that I look for in a book. Intrigue, mystery, romance, passion and at times comedic relief (though I wouldn't call this book a comedy by any stretch). I couldn't put it down, there were so many twists and turns. Right when you settled into a story, it threw a curve ball and almost created a new story. But it was all wrapped together nicely, every story line was brought back into the ending and it made you really think back to an earlier time in the book to a particular event that was brought up. So well planned.
