A solid 3 star novel. This suspense novel did keep the suspense throughout, but I was a little disappointed by all the loose ends hanging everywhere.

To be more specific, I wanted to hear

Spoiler

who staged the fake compound and why

or

Spoiler

Who participated in raising these kids, and gave them all these life-skills (driving, shooting a gun, sewing, reading, math, self care, etc), because it couldn't have just been one dude.

And then I also want to know

Spoiler

why Miranda follows her father's orders

and all that is without asking for what everyone really wants, which is

Spoiler

to catch the bad guy

!

Still, all in all, a solid novel that I'd recommend you read for a suspenseful read you don't want to put down.
