My Review:
This was a great thriller and I was guessing who was guilty to the end. I really liked that the author also included a true issue in society (the poor) and how he had a great set of characters. There are definitely some that I disliked and others that I wanted to succeed. It was different that the two main investigators were brothers looking for their mother. This led to them learning things from the past that were better kept hidden. I did not read the author's other book, which included some of the same characters, however I do not feel like I missed anything. I would like to read it and go deeper into the web. I can not wait for book three! I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

Thanks for hosting! I think it's important for novels to make readers think about social issues as well as entertain so long as it doesn't get in the way of the story.
