Wow! I literally inhaled this book in a breath (though not in one sitting). This one does not waste any time in getting you acquainted and starts from the get go. So much so that I just didnt want to put it down. Although it doesn't leave you on the edge of your seat, tense in mystery but just has a pinch enough to make you keep going on and turning each page to know more. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and can say it made my day definitely.
