Very nicely written book which holds the reader, and has some very fine emotional observations amid the drama. It was long though - I thought the office politics could have been trimmed a bit in order to hold to the criminal narrative more. Speeds up nicely towards the end! Despite the character list at the front I got a bit lost who everyone was, so it might be worth keeping your own list.
