I really enjoyed the switching of time-lines and the overall writing style. The cast is obviously limited by the reality base of this book and that also influences the development and likeability.
At some points the author does seem to keen on a specific version of the characters, which can take away from the truly complex truth.
Spoiler
I also enjoyed the ending as it was not left open, as that would have seemed like a cop out to me.
Spoiler
Would definitely love to see more books like this!
