The only reason I read this book is that I was looking for something immediately available as an e-book from the public library. It was okay. The entire book was written in "before" and "after" passages, which kind of got annoying. There were plot twists (I guess), but things seemed a little contrived and "trying too hard." There wasn't enough context to believe in the characters and why they did the things they did. I don't think I'll read any more novels by this author (who, I gather, is actually a husband-and-wife team using a pen name).

Too many random story lines that don't relate to the overall mystery.

Really complicated and far fetched ending. Too bad because the first part of the book was suspenseful and fun to read...too bad the wheels fell off the story at the most crucial part!

How is it possible I didn't see it coming, yet when it came, I was slightly underwhelmed; and still...I really liked this book??!!?? The story is told in a back and forth before and after style which I liked, but since I was listening to the audio was sometimes a bit confused so had to keep pulling up the ebook to verify where I was in the story. That was my fault for not giving it 100% attention, but what can I say, I'm at work so my attention is divided. I truly did enjoy this story, the characters and the mystery at the center of it all and from the beginning I was convinced I'd figured it all out. I was so, so, so wrong! Love when that happens! I do recommend this book, it's a good tale and you'll like several of the characters.

It was all right. The dialogue wasn't flowing or believable and the "mystery" was just a ridiculous clothes fibre analysis away from an episode of CSI, but the book is fast and easy if you fancy reading but not paying attention.

Is in 2009 uitgekomen, maar op de een of andere manier heb ik deze destijds volkomen gemist. Goede opzet met voor en na de gebeurtenis en dat wisselt af. Onverwachte twist en ik wist op het einde pas hoe het was gegaan en wie de dader is. Fijn.
