Hostage is a character driven thriller about being backed into the toughest of choices, choosing between life of your loved one or the lives of many strangers. Hostage is a fantastically done locked room thriller, a good mix of plot (plane hijacking and kidnapping) and character development. There were twists I didn’t predict and some I did. This was a well done smart/literary thriller.
