    15 Seconds
    Wow! "15 Seconds" is a fast-paced thriller that drew me in from page one. The story line explores the premise that a seemingly innocent action or relationship in a person's life can have far-reaching repercussions in the life of a stranger. The reader is initially as bewildered as Dr Steadman is when a routine traffic stop turns into murder. Andrew Gross deftly weaves in the backstory as the reader follows Dr Steadman in his quest to evade authorities, untangle truth from lies, clear his name and save his family. Short chapters, fast read, fabulous book for the summer!

    15 Seconds
    I really liked this book; it has short chapters and so the pace is very fast. It's an adrenaline rush. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a book that is a fast read, will keep your interest throughout, while giving you a great story with many twists and turns.

    Too Real
    This well-written,fast paced, compelling story held my interest mainly because it was too real. Our lives and those who matter most to us, can change in an instant by illness, sudden death, becoming an accident or crime victim etc. How one handles what life offers is the challenge and the characters in this book display a sampling of how one can handle life-altering upsets that can happen in 15 seconds.
  • Jenna B. (Fairfield, CA)
    Best book I've read in a long time
    This was the first time that I have read a book by Andrew Gross that was not co-authored with James Patterson and let me tell you I was hooked from page 1. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you want to just keep reading. It's a very fast paced, thrilling read. Would be the perfect beach read for summer. I plan on recommending this book to everyone I know. I am now a fan of Mr. Gross and I plan to read all his other solo works.

    15 seconds --- as fast as I could read!
    I started reading as soon as I took it out of the mailbox and was annoyed at having to fix dinner and go to work in the morning. Good books don't have to be deathless prose to be excellent. Judge by genre! If you want sympathetic characters, suspense, surprises, and fast moving adventure, read Gross' new book. Great summer read and I am sorry it is over. I read it overnight and now it's done. How sad!

    15 Seconds
    What a roller coaster ride for this unsuspecting plastic surgeon. I was fascinated with the book and could not wait to see how it ended. If you like a lot of suspense, this is the book for you with guessing games and plenty of action. Anyone who likes mysteries and thrillers should like this story. It is sure to please both men and women and could be a good choice for lots of discussion in a book club. Questions such as what would you do and how would you react to this situation. I know it kept me guessing all the way to the end.

    15 Seconds
    In 15 Seconds Dr. Henry Steadman's life starts a downward spiral when he's pulled over for a traffic violation. He has no idea why this is happening to him. Like all great mysteries, this one keeps you turning pages. How something so minor in his daily routine can become a reason for someone to hunt him. It makes you wonder about your own life and the strange people out in the world that might take offense at something you've done. Good to the last page.
