Solid story from beginning to end

Very few thriller novels can keep you reading well into the night. This is one of them. Yes, you'll probably have figured out the identity of the killer long before the main character does, but it still doesn't prepare you for the ending. There are several surprises along the way in this story, and it keeps you turning pages. The opening scene with the crying baby will give you chills.The only downside to this story is the lack of intensity to the goal. Six supercouples are found in Eden, Inc. One by one, they are being killed. Two are dead, and the third is coming quickly, yet you never really get to know the couple at all. The third couple gets a few pages, but otherwise you feel nothing for them. You actually couldn't care less if they live or die, you just want to see how Lash and Tara find the killer. That was a lost opportunity, as I would have liked to felt some sort of high stakes in the game. Instead, it barely rates a blip on the radar. Other than that, this story is solid and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
