The October List

by Jeffery Deaver

You wait, desperately, for news of your daughter.
At last, the door opens.
But it is not the negotiators, or the FBI.
It is her kidnapper.
And he has a gun . . .

Two days ago, life was normal.

How did it end like this?

Every crime scene begins at the end. To know what happened, you must work backwards, piecing together the events that came before. The ultimate thriller writer, Jeffery Deaver puts your brain - and your nerves - to the ultimate test with THE OCTOBER LIST, in a masterful mystery that unfolds from the end back to the beginning with many a breath-taking twist along the way.

This is a tough one to rate. The ending (beginning?) actually surprised me. I did not expect all of the things that were revealed. I also liked the reverse timeline a lot. On the other hand, I didn't really feel any urgency or buildup of suspense. It was more like I was curious to see where it was all leading rather than I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.

Overall it was interesting and entertaining but won't be on my favorites list.
