Ploughed through in one weekend. I liked the main characters more at the start than at the end, and I'm not sure that was intentional. They were a bit one dimensional so their prominent characteristics grated after a while. But the story is well paced and the tension ramps up well, with a fair few twists to keep you guessing how it'll pan out and end.
