This novel did not appeal to me. I found the plot to be too drawn out, the characters to be two-dimensional, and the writing to be rather flat. The majority of the story focuses on a home invasion by two escaped convicts. The story of the criminals and the family that becomes their target is interspersed with the backstory of the criminal who has targeted this house. Although the events which occur are tense, the fact that they go on and on leaves the reader not really caring about the fate of the family. A surprise is revealed late in the novel to explain why this particular family has been targeted, but, again, it did not feel like enough of a reward for reading that far.
I am not saying that this novel is bad. I am simply saying that it was not one that I enjoyed.
