Jen (jentrewren) | 1114 comments Probably the slowest James Patterson book I have read.

The who dunit part is pretty obvious despite the attempt to lead the reader in another direction. There is also a lot more computer geek stuff than the usual Patterson novels. However, it is a clever way of pointing out how much our reliance on technology could leave us all open to disaster. How could we pay our bills if all records of our employment evaporated? How could we go shopping or to the doctor if there was no way to pay? The potential for disaster is huge and yet we just trust that it will all be OK. Perhaps the grannies with a cash store under the mattress have the right idea?

A different style of Patterson novel but still worth the read.
