Deal Breaker, by Harlan Coben

A fairly interesting thriller that has wit and humor besides suspense, but I have a couple gripes.

The first is that there are 3 stories running in parallel. Usually you have either a standalone story or the main story supported by a secondary one that is sometimes simply meant as a filler. Here we have 2 supporting stories that are barely useful. One of them doesn't even get full closure by the end.

The second one is that I figured out a key point of the plot way early, which is never a good feature for a thriller.

Having said that, however, it's still a good read.

Grade: 7
