I read this all the way through in one sitting. An excellent mystery that was engaging and kept me guessing until the end. The author also did an excellent job of weaving together the past and present story lines. At times I felt like I was actually in the main character’s head, with thoughts drifting in the past and then abruptly being brought back to the present. Most of the time when books try to do this it is just confusing, but this author pulls it off in a masterful way.
It also was thought-provoking and I appreciated the commentary in the ‘Author’s Note’ (but don’t read that til after you’ve read the book).
