Hopefully i will write a more elaborate review soon. This book and the books before were GOOD.

Extremely tight writing style, every page some horrifying/exhillirating truth is revealed and the hints and clues for plots and conspiracies for later are laid out.

There was never a dull moment, inlcuding the finance talk (which is, of course, quite essential for a story about an accountant).

Various chapters of the book switch points of view, characters, locations, and that could get confusing if you don't pay attention. I personally felt it was doable, but I could see how people would struggle with this.

Very slightly displeased at the ending of this book, and how it was setting up the next book. It was still very good, but it didn't leave me as breathless and excited and terrified the way the other two did. Those had the endings set up in such a way that I kept thinking "no! i have so many unanswered questions!!".
Here, things were being wrapped up nicely, and Then the next thing was introduced.
