This book would've been finished in <24 had it not been for distractions: working, sleeping, eating, you know, the unsympathetic hindrances of basic living.
This book threw twists and dug sub-plots beautifully. THIS is my new standard for an exceptional Thriller.
But mostly, I appreciate Gardner for spotlighting the after-aftermath of the survivor psyche. I was shocked by raw character portrayals and the rough reality of victim reintegration. In an exposure-addicted, shock-centric culture that bleeds abducted victim stories such as these for book deals and film rights, Flora represents the stronger + darker survivor we are not privy to today.
