Five-star praise from advanced readers of 9-1-1
★★★★★ ‘The book had me locked in from the beginning with plenty of twists and turns keeping it interesting! I thought the connection to September 11th was done very well and all wrapped together well. ’
★★★★★ ‘Maughan delivers a masterful portrait of a deeply flawed protagonist whose greed and desperation propel a relentless chase. ’
★★★★★ ‘Once I started I didn’t want to put the book down. It kept me interested from the very first page.’
★★★★★ ‘Fascinating book to read. Had inner connecting stories from different people. Once you start you want to read it straight through. Great read.’
★★★★★ ‘The story blends the tragic events of the 9/11 attack with a thrilling crime plot in a way that feels respectful and well-thought-out. The characters are compelling and their journey through the narrative keeps you invested.’
★★★★★ ‘One thing after another astounded me in this story. The twists and turns were incomparable.’
★★★★★ ‘This book is phenomenal! I was hooked after the first few chapters and read it in about a day. The plot had multiple twists and turns that kept surprising me just when I thought I had it all figured out. ’
★★★★★ ‘I read it until 1:30am when I had to get up for work at 5:30am. Every time I thought I had the plot figured out, I was wrong.’
★★★★★ ‘I remember the day the towers were hit and DJ did a great job getting the details right and really describing how it felt that day. It really tied in with the story line! Huge fan of this author and can’t wait for more of his books!’
★★★★★ ‘Sooo engaging from start to finish. This was my first Peter Andrassy book (and honestly first D.J. Maughan book as well) and it blew my expectations out of the water. 85% of my to-do list was thrown out the door because I just HAD to finish this in one day. Great characters, twists and suspense throughout.’
★★★★★ ‘I have to say if I could have read it all in one day I would have. It had so many twists and turns I didn’t want to put it down. Right when you think you’ve figured it out, another scenario pops up and it turns out you were COMPLETELY wrong. Great read and highly recommend!’
★★★��★ ‘Suspenseful from start to finish, through every twist and reveal. You'll love some characters, and hate others. Definitely one to add to your TBR list and start it sooner than later. ’
★★★★''' ‘It was a GREAT book. Definitely grabbed my interest from the first chapter and held it throughout the story.’
'''★★★★ ‘This book was incredible! I read it not knowing this was a part of a series, but it worked wonderfully as a standalone book as D.J. Maughan worked in the past in a way you didn't feel like you were missing anything.’
