I was glad to have chosen the audio version of this book, to hear the correct and beautiful pronunciation of Māori language and names.  This book was a great thriller, as well as informative of the plight of the indigenous people of New Zealand.  I thought it was written very well, with good pacing, and a diverse set of characters.
