Title: Unique and Complex
Review: I enjoyed the beginning, and surprise ending but the middle seemed too disjointed for my liking. The character development was vague, at best, with too much left up in the air, in my humble opinion. It was a formula story, with requiring not much imagination for being a tedious read.

Title: Kidnappers versus victims versus law enforcement versus money
Review: Three kidnappings are carried out simultaneously in a well planned manner. The kidnappers are identified by number, not name. The victims are the fifth wife, oldest son and two youngest children of a multi billionaire. A task force involving FBI, the billionaire’s security company and a politician. What becomes gradually clear to the reader is that the victims may not all be victims and the FBI may have some conspirators in their midst. i found this book a fast read with short chapters moving easily between the FBI and the various victims and their kidnappers. The actual characters don’t feel that well developed but perhaps it doesn’t matter as the puzzle is the fun part of the book.

Review: This novel unwinds slowly, with decent character development and story setup. As the title indicates, it’s about a record-setting ransom, and we get a look into both the kidnappers and the victims over thte span of the book. And of ourse there’s the twist at the end, although this time there’s two twists. A solid read, and an interesting plot.

Review: It’s 2:30 Sunday morning and I have an early start but I couldn’t put this book down. Good, However, I would like to know how the kidnappers were paid their share when the masterminds still had all the money. That didn’t make sense to me. But otherwise I enjoyed it
