I found this just a bit predictable. The plot was a bit farfetched, and I wasn’t surprised by what was happening, which I think I was supposed to be. The writing on the whole was okay, good enough that I would consider reading another of his books, but generally it’s a family saga that’s trying to be a bit of a thriller but isn’t really.

At about the 30% point I was hooked and had to see the book out but good grief, this went in some questionable directions.
