And even if I don't, if it's a 5,000-piece puzzle of the 'Mona Lisa', it's not like I put the last piece in and go, 'I had no idea it's the 'Mona Lisa'!' ↗

I love the idea of a movie hero in a thriller who is able to get ahead by just his brilliance, and not with a gun or by being an action hero. ↗

(Out of the Shadow is) Exceptional....Meticulously plotted, beautifully paced, its an intelligent, fascinating story that draws you in. I couldn't put it down, a great read.. Winn, masterfully weaves together the lives of characters into a rich and vivid tapestry, all the while exploring complex human emotions. A definite page turner. Patricia O'Halloran ↗
