This book started off fairly slow as we were introduced to the characters and their lives, the personal problems that were going to impact on their day.  The storm making everything just that bit harder, delaying getting the job done.

As we progress through the chapters the pace slowly builds, things are becoming clearer and the impending disaster unfolds.

The last few chapters start racing by, can anything be done to save the day, will decisions made earlier come back to haunt us.

The gripping final pages are edge of your seat stuff, brilliantly written keeping you in suspense to the very end.
