Maura (maura853) - , reviewed on 12/28/2020 + 542 more book reviews

It's OK: it's a page-turner, but it's at least 50 pages longer than it needs to be -- inflated by unnecessary detail and misguided attempts at suspense. (Honestly, no spoilers, but I guessed both "big reveals" long before the end ...)

The New York detail is good. My sense is that Barclay is more comfortable with small-town, intimate thrillers that allow him to plunge an "Everyman/woman" into a world of pain.
