The way you reviewed this kind of makes me rethink my aversion against crime and thriller books :shifty:

I don't think the book is for me. Even though you make an interesting review and others said that there is little something for everyone, I still like for more romance. I thought this book has romance in it since the genre said romance. :?:

excellent review! I try to avoid books with cliffhangers so I won't be taking on this one. But it sound like a fabulous read.

I didn't really ponder about how a massive engineering project gets off the ground, but it sounds like an interesting premise for a book. I am not sure it is for me due to the subject matter and the cliffhanger, but I will check it out. Thank you for the review.

This isn't a book that I would normally go for, but I also really enjoyed the backstory that happens in the prologues and it convinced me to read more of the book. I didn't know that this book switched perspectives throughout it, which is a bonus in my opinion. Can't wait to read more.

Great Review! I like the concept of this book! It definitely sounds interesting! I am not a fan of cliffhangers because I get impatient waiting for the next book.

I love a good suspense and mix in corporate espionage involving the Panama Canal and I'm in! Can't wait to read it. Congrats on being BOTD.

Max sounds like a well-fleshed out character, along with an interesting plot. The first page definitely captured my attention.
Thanks for an informative review!

The Panama canal is hardly heard of this days, it's an awesome review and everyone got to look out for "The Expansion"
