engaging & exciting tale of revenge, love, sexual assault, family & crime (2 more)

genuinely thrilling at times

fantastic final scene

a little on the long side - this isn’t a major issue and isn’t something that usually bothers me but i did feel that the film slightly overstated its welcome & could have been slightly briefer (0 more)

A great crime thriller as a mafia accountant is taken hostage at his state of the art home. Bruce has to play negotiater while the mafia have his family. Great build up in tension as the clock starts ticking down for Bruce to do his bit and the stakes are raised.

I thought this was a pretty decent light hearted, sexy, crime thriller. More of a heist film to be honest. it's fun seeing how they did it, if the cops can figure it out and if he can get away with it. Strong cast and a well put together film overall.

Never any slow, drawn out parts

I don't often read Crime books as they are not really the genre I prefer. However, I could not put this book down.

I also never read this author's books before but I would definately consider reading another!
