Not the kind of book I usually order, but it looked interesting and was actually quite good. This writer's debut is first class. The most intriguing thing was not the mystery, but where the writer was going with an idea. The book had many fascinating characters and themes. The narrator was not as likeable as I wanted her to be. Some of the characters who were supposedly "greedy" and "harsh" were the characters I liked best and identified them as the more "moral" ones despite the author's intent. An interesting book with a definite socialist view of progress.
