The idea is good, but there are some issues I can't see past.

Jack describes Amy as being intelligent, paying attention to detail, sharp etc. But all through the book she ignores obvious signs and acts obliviously, particularly where Marita is concerned. She is generally a bad judge of character and can't put together the pieces.

Also, who was the Russian, why did that get brought up?


The ending also felt rushed compared to the amount of time put in to the first half.
