Disappointed I did not enjoy this as much as Case Histories. It was very stream of consciousness, spending a lot of time in the heads of people who were unhappy and by the end of the book, I felt they were almost all unlikeable. I did enjoy the intricate plotting, the way all the apparently disconnected people were ultimately linked by more than just circumstance. Well written and well plotted, I just didn't like the characters very much by the end.
