Publisher Description
“Gross is a top-notch thriller writer.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“Andrew Gross knows how to make your skin crawl. Eyes Wide Open should be read with the door shut and the lights on; a truly terrifying descent into evil.”
—Nelson DeMille
New York Times bestselling author Andrew Gross solidifies his position as one of today’s very best suspense authors with Eyes Wide Open. Joining his previous bestsellers The Blue Zone, The Dark Tide, Don’t Look Twice, and Reckless, Eyes Wide Open is another brilliant example of the contemporary thriller done absolutely right. In this relentlessly exciting page-turner, a man must investigate a shattering personal tragedy that is somehow connected with a charismatic cult leader from the ‘60s. James Patterson, Harlan Coben, David Baldacci, John Grisham, Jonathan Kellerman, Jeffery Deaver, Lisa Gardner, Nelson DeMille, Tess Gerritsen—Andrew Gross stands tall in their elite company.
Customer Reviews
Well written and suspenseful
This was a well written novel with straight-forward dialog and plenty of suspense. The plot was quite straight-forward and the characters very believable. It seemed very realistic to me and evoked memories of events from the 60s.
The fact that the inspiration for the novel arose from real events which directly affected the author makes this an even more poignant read. The tragic loss is even more real.
This was my first read of author Andrew Gross but it will not be my last.
Eyes wide open
Great read! Fast paced couldn't put it down.
eyes wide open-fun to read but implausible
enjoyed reading but inconsistencies in the book and laughably impossible medical scenarios took the thrill out of the book.
Was he stabbed to death or was he stangled? Zorn's death is attributed to both...yet apparently the strangulation wins out.
Was Dr. Erlich's blood pressure and heart rate low or was it back to normal minutes later after he gets brutally assaulted?
Sigh....as an ER/trauma nurse in a Level One truma center, these types of inconstencies are pretty obvious.
Fast-paced and a fast read.
