I found this novel to be the most introspective and interesting of the novels in the series so far, perhaps because of the combination of the much tighter focus/smaller pool of characters and the resolution of a number of mysteries from earlier novels. It was very nice to get some fairly clear answers about Cherry's life and certain events she'd been involved in; the focus on an unwilling recovery from addiction and the various stages of behaviour and substitution that Cherry moved through - or tried to move through - and its effects on those around her made for a gripping read.
