Oh boy, this was fun. Not until the very last few pages did it dawn on me who done it.
There is so much going on in this story, so many people to get to know and like (or not) and so many new developments, it kept me interested and rooting for the main character throughout.
Fun read, nicely written.

It's a nice little thriller until the last 100 pages. For a super hyped up novel, the ending is a major letdown.  Unfortunately, the initially believable people and events take on an alien tone regarding the credibility of their behavior and action at the end of the novel.  But the first 400 pages are entertaining!

This was more fun than I thought it would be at first.  The author found a suitable "voice" for the dog and there truly were some unusual turns in the plot.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading it until the end, which is high praise in itself.

A great read for about the first 3/4, but then the inevitability of the ending made the last quarter contrived and tedious

I enjoyed this book until about 3/4 of the way through.  The last few  chapters? were disappointing, for one thing at th e end of two
chapters were two blank pages,leaving the reader  in the dark as to how TED and Samantha escaped the villain.
Not good........

The book kept me entertained and off guard as to where it was heading.  Thoroughly enjoyed until the last page.

This was a fun book. I was mystified through too the end. This author tells a good story, has a habit of throwing in language that seemed to pull the reader out of the story. Not too often, but often enough it irritated me. Her asides should have been saved for an author comments page. I'm going on to book two. I'm curious to see how much she learned writing book one. Later...

I enjoyed it up to a point. It does have that fast-paced page turner quality. However, its
twist in the final quarter is a bit hard to take.

This book was just fun, and I now find myself saying "Oh, calamity" to inconveniences big and small. I enjoyed the author's ability to make pointed social commentary lightheartedly, and the characters' propensities to laugh at themselves.

I've only knocked off a star for the ending, which tied everything a little bit too cleanly up into a nice little bow.

THE BOOK WAS A GREAT READ, UNTIL THE LAST SEVERAL Pages

This was such great fun to read.  It was gripping but also unhurried--in fact, the book was a lot like its main character.  The book, like the Jake Epping, was compelled to keep moving along, but at the same time, it/he seemed to want to slow down and really enjoy life. There are some ambling twists and turns that make Jake's long wait worthwhile. And King's writing has just gotten better and better over the years.

I'm giving it 5 stars because I really loved the first 798 pages, but I have to say I was disappointed in the ending.  Maybe others will like it just fine.  It had its good points.  But I felt like it was rushed.  After all those pages of waiting and watching Jake plot, the end was just--blah.  Maybe it was the inevitable and proper ending, but I just wanted something different.  Nevertheless, I'm glad I read it.

I liked this book from very first to the last page,  and wished for more.

I liked the idea of this novel much more than I liked the finished product. The abrupt ending was annoying. What happened? Did the publisher say, "Oops, that's enough pages. Stop right now"?

Oh, WOW This was a LOT of fun! The ONLY disappointing thing was finding more about the MAIN bad character.

Jonathan Kellerman's knack for clever jovial dialog and vivid location description makes most of this book highly entertaining.  And solution to the mystery is quite unpredictable.  But the author seems in a hurry to end it.
Parts of the final 35 pages read more like a plot outline than polished narrative.  This reader had to compensate by slowing down to digest each sentence.
