This book was just OK for me, admittedly, crime/thriller novels are not really one of my favorite genres, but I had heard a lot of praise for this author, so I thought I would give it a try! I found it a bit slow going in the beginning, but around page 150 it started to pick up and kept my interest for the rest of the book. The storyline on the whole was just so implausible and that really distracted me through the whole novel..I wanted more “WHY” and it just never came. I kept reading and reading and waiting for that moment when the sky becomes clear and the angels sing and you gasp and exclaim “aha! So that is why or what happened and ya, it never came. All that being said I did enjoy this author's “writhing” the dialogue was fast paced and witty and flowed beautifully making it a very enjoyable book to “read”. I have the author's other book on my reserved list with the library so I will also give it a read and see if I enjoy it more. :)
