Title: Worst Preston and Childs Book by Far
Review: I've read a fair number of books by Preston and/or Childs. Some were good; some better than good. This book was a complete waste of time. First of all, this is not a stand-alone book, although there is nothing on the outside as to mark it as a sequel. But even if I had some inkling into the chronology and backstory of all the characters, I doubt that I would have found anything about the characters, the setting, or the plot in the least bit credible. Things just keep happening that don't make sense--it's not that they are mysterious or spooky or build suspense and are explained later--they just don't make sense. Coincidences abound. Police and bystanders alike act in ways that defy logic. Characters do things that are bizarre and unrealistic. I understand that thrillers depend on a willing suspension of disbelief from time to time, but this goes way beyond that. Thoroughly disappointing.
