What a brilliant story from a very talented writer, no wonder he has so many best-sellers to his name. This gets you hooked from the beginning until the end, I did not want it to end as it was so good. Many twists that I would never have thought of make this one of the year’s best books. The setting was perfect as were all the characters that all worked well together. You have to read this as the ending is superb!
