Is this fine literature? No, it is not. Was it contrived? maybe a bit.
It is an entertaining read that keeps you guessing as you try to figure out where the characters’ stories are going to go. As others have said, there are a lot of characters and they all have their own backstories, but I did not find it at all difficult to keep track. The third book I’ve read by John Marrs, and I think I’ll keep reading more of them.
