She is a deaf woman with a cochlear implant who discovers that she has an empathic sense about people when she turns the implant off. She is driven to find out the truth about Desai’s disappearance and fearlessly pursues it. Even minor characters are given quirky personalities and enough back-story for the reader to feel a connection to them.
I don't read thrillers too much, but your review has grabbed me. It sounds like the character development is the strong suit of this book. That is so difficult to do as a writer and so important to the reader's experience. And this author even gave strong attention to minor characters. I think I would like this book. Your review is comprehensive, and I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you.

It's just quite saddening where there are situations when people go beyond what's acceptable and just in order to achieve an end. I do hope the characters in this piece get a chance at redemption and that good overcomes evil in this piece.

Thank you for your gripping and insightful review.

Zellie sounds like a well thought out character, I'm a crime lover and I'm pretty impressed. Nice review

Although I don't usually read mystery/crime novels, the science fiction elements of this sound really interesting. I also love the inclusion of a deaf character!

Reading your review made me think of Grey's Anatomy. It sounds like someone took Grey's Anatomy and made an evil clone of it. It sounds like an interesting read and I can't wait to read it.

I can't imagine a millatary who was supposed to war against the enemy of the country was now hired by a bloody religious organisations.
What a story line I love.

The three story lines are awesome
This is the kind of criminal book I love to read because as I was reading it, it look so real to Me.

Thank for this review.
