The attraction of the book lays with the heinous, fast-paced plot, which is masterfully developed by incorporating the distress, the twists, and the frantic and terrifying steps the main characters must face. The book is based on a very unique concept and -as usual for the McKinty’s books- is well written with good characters’ development and sharp dialogues. January LaVoy is as good as it gets and contributes to maintain the atmosphere of suspense and tension.
For the sake of full disclosure, I am a huge fan of McKinty, whom I rate among the top five (three ?) thrillers writers of the past ten years. The Chain is probably more commercially smart than his prior work, but I cannot help recommending the Michael Forsythe trilogy, the Sean Duffy series where McKinty is at his best….

Suspenseful, engaging, a real page turner !
