Ronald A. (rarendt) reviewed on 2/1/2013 + 107 more book reviews

This is Giles Blunt's third offering, and, while not quite up to his first two ("Forty Words for Sorrow" and "The Delicate Storm") is still outstanding. I give it a strong four stars where the first two were undoubtedly five star works. If possible, try to read his books in order; although this book will stand alone, you will enjoy it even more if you are able to follow the development of the main characters.

The reason for the one-star downgrade is that the villain and the ending seemed maybe a little contrived, a little over the top. Still a great read, with an off-beat plot, and a book that might keep you up late at night, not just to finish it but because the villain is so scary.
