Congrats on BOTD. While this sounds like a nice crime novel, I'm not so sure about the historical and political factors.

This book seems well-planned and well-structured. I like that there's good and enough suspense in the book. It makes reading excitable. I wonder what happened to Aiden in his precarious situation. Great review.

I absolutely love crime thrillers and this book sounds like an amazing read! I can't wait to find out what happened to Aiden. I also enjoyed a suspense-filled book a lot and can't wait to read this whole book. Well done on #BOTD

It seems interesting settling down with such kind of a book. Its fictious nature plus the incidences of suspense is a loop for critical thinking. This review charms my nerves to read the whole book. Thank you for sharing.

I really enjoy a good investigative novel. This seems like a great one. I hope Jimmy has truly changed and Quinn uses his skills to assist him and the community in general.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

However, Qinn is caught up in an international relations dilemma of his own when he falls for a Russian spy. America needs his assistance to solve their mysterious deaths. How will Quinn fare? This book is an interesting read! Thanks for your review.

I wonder if the person Aiden saw was a familiar face. I'll read a crime thriller anything. Nice review.
