I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would. It is still a good book. Entertaining and fast. Kept my attention for a couple of hours. The one outstanding thing about it is the dialogue. It is as natural as can be, and I could hear the conversations as if I were eavesdropping in a normal house. However there wasn't much mystery in it for me and, without spoiling, the strong, intelligent main character should have been able to skip chapters when she saw the bus years later. And I felt sorry for the poodle. Enough said.
