What is really unique about this book is the complexity of the characters and the inability to really make them either good or bad, although certainly the villain is definitely bad. This is good reading.
I can’t say I was TOTALLY unexpected by the ending but there were a few twists in the finale that added some surprises. Characters are somewhat fleshed out in the beginning but as the story goes the reader does discover more about each of the key players. The storyline is fast paced; the entire 400 page book covers only about 24 hours. My rating of 3 stars makes this a GOOD read for me. I would recommend this to someone who likes thriller/suspense novels.
too much detail and already knew most all from the start

- Epigraph
- The naked hulk alongside came,
And the twain were casting dice;
"The game is done! I've won! I've won!"
Quoth she, and whistles thrice
The Sun's rim dips; the stars rush out:
At one stride comes the dark;
Off shot the spectre-bark
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
The Rine of the Ancient Mariner - First words
- Later, the children were what he would remember, not the bloodied bodies on the floor.
