Ending was surprising but the heart of the book was very boring.

This novel was so engrossing at the start. I found myself putting aside important tasks, or at the very least putting minimal effort into them, to finish this story.

Nap is a great protagonist. He's dry and cynical and very well developed. His conversations with his late twin brother manage to only be tinged with a hint of sadness and longing, which makes the things he says to him much more real.

Maura and Ellie were horrible characters because the author did not seem to care about developing two very integral women to a plot that hangs on small details. I had to start taking breaks to finish the book whenever Nap had a conversation with Ellie, and even moreso when Maura came back into Nap's life to be some sort of hero and sex god.

Ending was not /that/ predictable, so that's a plus. I would recommend this book to readers who like thrillers.

This was a very interesting novels involving an investigation that allowed the main male character to get some very important answers. The twist was somewhat shocking and I enjoyed the journey but the story was kind of dragged out a bit in my opinion.

A true page turner

I've always loved his books, but this just moved to number one. Had me on the edge of my seat for hours!
