Helpful Score: 2
I'm not a big John Case fan and the first third or so of this book just reinforced my enthusiasm. I just wanted to shout, "Get on with it, already!" But, having endured that much, I soldiered on to the end. And it ended. Just ... ended. After getting involved the various characters I expected another chapter or two to wrap it all up. Alas, it was not to be.
Top notch mystery/thriller. He does a good job making the clues work, and of revealing the plot slowly enough to keep you guessing but not bogging down. It's a bit too handy in the end and the reason behind the staged clues is never quite explained, but the characters are all true and the premise is excellent.
