5.0
This book was fast paced and exciting. I was racing to the end to see all the pieces slide into place.
The main character is not your typical "unreliable" witness to a crime. I really enjoyed the strong character development and the setting of a rainy cold English coastal town in the off season lent an atmosphere of bleak, damp suspense.
I totally loved this novel. It's my favorite thriller of the year.
