Well, despite the fact that the book begins with a sextuple homicide and footchase through Zurich, this book took awhile to get into. However, once the plot got started, it was very engaging. Plenty of action and suspense, but well-plotted and not random. I figured out the "main" mystery and the big final "twist" about 100 pages before they were revealed, but that didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. Definitely worth a read.
