I devoured this book! Might be the best in the Ryder series since 100th Man. Fantastic storyline, characters, and suspense.

This was the first Jack Kerley novel that I read and I was instantly involved in the plot and the longstanding characters of Carson Ryder and Harry Nautilus. I felt that it was both fast-paced and full of twists right up till the end, and I was genuinely a bit tense throughout! A really enjoyable Crime/mystery book.

Been a fan of the Carson/Nautilus series for some time and always look forward to the next instalment but did find myself a wee bit disappointed with this one. Although the central premise of somebody targeting abused women using the modern day equivalent of the old slavery underground railroad was interesting, I'm afraid to say that I did find this book a little stilted in the unfolding of the story. I also thought the rather unbelievable inclusion of Nautilus' nearest and dearest being thrust into the path of a killer after so little time in the police force did grate on me and also subdued the natural and entertaining interplay between himself and Carson as Nautilus spends the whole book with his panties in a bunch. Whilst not the best of the series new readers could pick up and enjoy this and then have the joy of going back and starting Kerley's series from the beginning.

I really enjoyed this book. The idea's were original, it was fast paced and engaging, and at times humerous. I did figure the mystery out before the big reveal, but it didn't lessen my enjoyment of this book.
