While I really enjoy King's Russell and Holmes series, I was a bit disappointed with this one. It seemed a bit drawn out. And while I realize the author wants to keep the reader guessing, I pretty much had it figured very early on what Vivian's problem was and why she disappeared. So I was disappointed Russell didn't catch on to it until almost the end. I thought she was smarter than that. :-)

Of course, I'm fully aware Russell is simply a character doing what the author wants her to do.
