Editorial Review: Product Description: A gorgeously written novel that marks the debut of an astonishing new voice in psychological suspense. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Frustrating waste of time (SPOILER)While I enjoyed much of this book, as it became clearer and clearer towards the end that the most compelling reason to keep reading (a 20 yr old murder mystery) would not even be explained, I truly was incredulous. The reader is given many hints as to the who, what, and how of this 20 year old case, and one can't help but engage in much enjoyable speculation and anticipate a fantasic twist of an ending. I couldn't have been more shocked, disappointed, and angry. I felt entirely bamboozled like many ...

Maybe my opinion has been influenced by reading THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO immediately prior to this one. That book wasn't perfect, but it had characters you rooted for, didn't wallow too much in pop culture references, and most importantly IT SOLVED THE DARN ...

Rating: - $equel!I am giving this book two stars instead of one, because the author did keep me entertained for most of the book. I really only cared about one of the mysteries in this book, and it was that mystery the author decided to leave unsolved. I won't spoil the ending, if you want to call it that, but can only say this book doesn't have one. The story comes to a close, like a daytime soap opera. If the reader wants to find out what really happened, and actually I don't anymore, you'll have to tune in (and buy) ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
