 This book was a page turner.....Reynolds did an excellant job with the suspense! The story pivots between current time and 10 years ago chapter by chapter (meaning 1 chapter in the present, the next 10 years ago, etc). Reynolds leaves you with a bit of a :cliff hanger" (no pun intended) at the end of each chapter. The suspense of each cliff hanger is a bit more intense as the story progresses. I found myself debating whether to continue chapter by chapter or read the chapters from 10 years ago and then go back and read the present time chapters or vice versa but didn't give in to the temptation. Not only does the suspense build, but your like or disdain for the characters also grows with each chapter. The chapters about 10 years ago also give insight to feelings/attitudes of the characters now. Definitely recommend.
