A really, really good thriller. The story is dramatic from the start, and you're immediately thrown into the action, left with no choice but to continue reading. The pace is quick, and I felt that I could read this book quickly without even noticing how much time had passed. I liked the characters, especially the main two duo, and I think their personalities will be explored further in future books (which I may or may not read). The plot was really good, with some suitably gruesome murders, lots of tension and some high octane moments. The ending was pretty satisfying, if only a tiny bit rushed, including a good twist which I didn't see coming but was pulled off really well. Overall, a really good solid thriller.
