I don't know if Sager maybe tried to put too many plot twists and turns in here, but I have to give them credit for THAT genre hopping reveal, that was well carried through the last third of the book. 
The exploration of alcoholism was also well handledz with the protagonist being quite multi-layered and engaging. 
Not my favourite of theirs, but would recommend for fans of a good mystery.
