The premis of this book is excellent. If it were not filled with holes you could drive a truck through it would have been great. Did Allen not sign a deed for the cabin? His agent had to work for a company that could prove Tuttle was Bolder. Tuttle took cabs often enough that one of the drivers could have identified him. The author took a lot of creative license with this one. What about his signature? Too many holes.

This book has an interesting premise and lots of twists and turns. It starts strong but the characterization is very poor and the plot has lots of discrepancies and huge holes. The two cops in the book were unbelievably stupid, but I am not even sure if that is the way the author wanted to portray them. There is also a lot of gratuitous sex and violence which added nothing.
The ending of the book leaves the reader wondering "what just happened?" and there is no real resolution to the conflict. What in fact happens to the main character? Don't count on ever finding out. I did enjoy the short chapters and suspense but I won't look for any more books by this author.

The Last Chapter Is Good
I had trouble reading this book for several reasons. First, the only sympathetic characters don’t show up until the middle of the book and most of the characters are less than believable . Second, the plot has way too many holes in it. Third, the book has too much telling and too little showing. That said, the last chapter would make a great action movie.

Keeping All Your Ducks in a Row
Very entertaining, but if you skip over, trying to get ahead you will never be able to determine who did what to who and why, you don't know who are the good or bad guys, and it's still up in the air when the book ends! All depends on how stuck you are about "right is right; wrong is wrong!"

This was one if the most interesting reads i have had in a long time. The premise is unique and well thought out. Excellent characters with distinct personalities are woven throughout. I could not put it down and I read it until 4 am.

Kept me guessing
This book kept me guessing on how Alan Tuttle would prove to be himself when arrested for killing a man the police believed to be Alan Tuttle. So many twists and turns!

A lot of plots!
Some times less is more. Filled with some clever plots and twists and I’m not saying it’s not worth the read; I just prefer my works to be more succinct. After awhile you begin to wonder if this author is not paid by the word.

A Thrilling Read
This was an action packed book, I loved it. The suspense was all consuming. It was incredible how resilient the main character was and how single minded and selfish his wife was. I can't wait to read another of this author's books.

What a story
From the first page to the last word, I was hooked. It is a thriller wrapped in a mystery that makes you completely insane yelling at the characters to get with the program and figure it out.

I did really like this book, however I hated the end, or lack of an end. This one leaves everything pretty much up in the air, so you have to write your own ending.

Rotten Ending
The book was great, you never expected the next twist! The plot kept getting better and better... But the Extremely blunt ending ruined the whole book for me.
