Hmmm..... This book is hard for me to describe. On one hand, I couldn't put it down, it did keep me reading. The first half of the book was really tense and I loved it. On another, after some reflection, there are some things about this book I have issues with.

For one thing, although the book is fictional, the ending just seemed unrealistic for the setting it is based in.

isn't it like, the first rule of writing not to kill off your main character / narrator? I didn't like this.

Also, the main character is completely obsessed with guns, carrying her gun, cleaning her gun, describing her gun, etc. etc.. She's also, obviously, drop dead gorgeous, because why not?

Whew, what a wild ride! I could not put the book down. The constant twists and turns kept me on the edge of my proverbial seat, constantly concocting new theories. It was a very well-written mystery that wrapped spectacularly.

The journey just seemed ok but I loved the ending as I did not see it coming and it was very fast paced and exciting. The epilogue seemed unnecessary though.
