This is probably my least favourite book of the series so far, but I still enjoyed it. Like with DOGS, I loved the way Bennett has weaved historical facts in with her dark mystery - it's incredible. I love all the references to films, as they provide a way to make it clear exactly what Greer is thinking. I do think the overall mystery of this book alone was quite obvious, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy watching the characters reach it. I am really looking forward to the next installment in the series.
