Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown and Company for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

No one sees her, but she sees everything. Elinor Gilbert was once a young woman with a thriving career at the FBI.
Now decades past solving crimes with the bureau, she is personally and professionally forgettable.
Which is exactly what her former FBI boss needs. He disguises Elinor as a middle-aged nanny, and casts her as an agent on the inside of his investigation into a New York art dealer suspected of ties to organized crime.
But as Elinor pushes toward the truth, her superpower—anonymity—morphs into a fatal flaw.
The more the invisible woman integrates into her “host” family, the more dangerously memorable she becomes.

There is something about a good James Patterson book that can just pull me in and make me lose track of time as I spend a day engrossed in one of his compelling storylines. In this latest offering, he brings us one of those types of books, and I am happy to say that I spent this cold Sunday curled up on the couch, enjoying what he does best. The short chapters and propulsive storyline kept me entertained from the first page to the last. Elinor is a likable protagonist, and there are enough twists and turns to keep the action moving, without veering into any of the overused tropes that sometimes appear in the thriller genre. If you are a fan of Patterson's other standalone crime thrillers, this is the perfect book for you. I will always look forward to more from James Patterson and his co-authors.
