    I didn’t get it
    This is a carpool novel. Interruptions won’t be a bother as there are no exacting plot points or complicated storylines to follow. In fact, you can skip ahead and still keep up with the story. Jane and Dan have been married 19 years. Jane is a failed author and Dan is a good guy podiatrist. They are at a world famous restaurant when it’s hijacked. In the beginning, the hijackers coincidentally follow the plot of Jane’s book.
    It reminded me of stories in women’s magazines before Helen G. Brown got to Cosmo. Light chatter and so as not to offend the ladies sensibilities-Crime pays but only to selective charities.
