This was a quick, compelling read. I kept trying to figure out who "Charlie" was, and while there were some red herrings, the culprit did make sense. There were some good twists in the book, and they were appropriately spaced apart, making the story believable. On a related note, I liked that the narrator became less reliable as the story went on and unraveled. I would recommend this book, especially to book lovers.
