This thriller definitely keeps you on your toes and keeps you wanting. I did not like how the BIG mystery was resolved. It seemed so disconnected from the entire rest of the story and I definitely feel like it could have been done better using a character who we already knew was deeply intertwined. Honestly felt like a cop-out. The end of the last chapter WAS beautiful and wrapped up that plot line well. Overall I will be reading more Ronald Malfi BUT I'm glad this wasn't his first work that I read, otherwise it might have been my last.
