The first 2/3 of the book seemed slow, the last 1/3 picks up the pace, however I don't think the "end" completes the circle of the story well enough.
I think David Ellis is a really good mystery writer. I think he is an author not many people are aware of. Give him a chance and pick up one of his novels.
