STRONG, STRONG contender for my favorite book of the year, and certainly for my favorite published this year. Wonderfully paced, dryly funny, and with such a tight grasp on story and plot. I came out of it way more emotional than I banked for. The Count of Monte Cristo references...wow!
Savored every minute.

There's a scene midway through the book that veers close to rape and will likely trigger people who are affected by sexual assault.
