* * ½* Not 'scary' or 'thrilling' as the cover of the paperback edition describes. This is more mystery than anything. It is also a good study in character development.

Throughout, the characters are real; they jump right off the page, whether you care for them or not. They are real, that is, until the end, when unbelievable decisions are made; then all credibility is lost. At one crucial scene, I almost expected a character to yell out, "My hero!" That's how silly it became. Nice effort, sloppy ending.
