I read this book in two sittings. It was good. Very good. I've noticed that a couple of reviewers were put off a little by the style of writing ... each chapter is narrated by a different character, but I found that I adapted to this very quickly and had no problem with it.
The suspense builds slowly, almost excruciatingly so, but it's very well handled. We learn a lot about these people and that in itself is very satisfying.
I can't tolerate books that don't tie up loose ends, but there's no problem with this one. The ends are not only tied up but knotted. I highly recommend it!
