I could barely put this book down. I love the way the author wove together the present story with glimpses of the past. It also had just the right ratio of danger to problem solving, so the situation never felt too hopeless. Overall I thought it was very well done and an enjoyable read.

WOW. I have been in a reading slump for a while and this book drop-kicked me right out of it. What a layered story, what an awesome protagonist, what a fun (if dark) plot. Great stuff all the way around.
