I found this book to be one of those dark books that I do not always enjoy. I thought that the writing was very good and the setting of the book was very well written as were the characters. I do love a mystery and this was a mystery with a dark twist to it. The story had a lot going on, a few sub-plots that were good.

While I do love a mystery and this was a good guessing game with a well written plot and well-developed characters and story line, it was just not my type of book, it was just too dark for me.This review was originally posted on
