I found this so readable, I read through it in a day which is not the norm for me. The mystery is creatively written and defied my expectations of a typical thriller/mystery novel. The writing took a little while to get used to but once I did I was sucked in and needed to know what happened next. I really enjoyed the plot but did find the ending to be a bit quick and would have liked to see it drawn out a bit more. I highly recommend it and I look forward to reading more from this author.

the plot in this one seemed less believable and a bit farfetched than his detective galileo series but really entertaining nonetheless..

A very intelligent and interesting murder mystery, and quite a unique one at that. Barely took four hours to breeze through the entire thing, thoroughly enjoying myself.

I loved this book so much. The plot is fairly simple, with a handful of characters but the plotting and the writing are so clever. Things are revealed at. Steady rate but there are trusts and turns that make you really want to know what happened and why. The characters are very well written and feel very human. I could not stop reading this book.
