I just thought this book was "ok" but then mystery/thriller books are not my favorite. This was a suspenseful "who done it" which delved into the complicated relationship between father and son. I read it because my mom said she loved it. I'm shocked she liked it even - to me it was just too moody and sad. Satisfying ending overall -- yet haunting and terrible at the same time. Still wonder what mom wanted me to get from this book. I suspect it had something to do with a message the book seems to contain: "if someone is untrustworthy don't expect them to change" but I will ask her now that I've read it. It does contain some accurate northeast descriptive settings which took me back to when I was young - and overall hope was restored for the main character but other than that - it put a damper on me for 3 days while reading it. It did however, keep me guessing and I guessed wrong.
