An weird book to me. I found it easy to put down but also felt oddly impatient to get through it. I think the problem was the twist. You know going into the story there's a big twist, so obviously everything that happens in the beginning is a lie. This made the first half of the book feel like a waste of time. Then we get down to the "shocking" information, which the reader has figured out a hundred pages ago. Lots of coincidences have to happen for this to come to light. I did like the setting, and I did like Bennett and Clough; I thought their total manipulation by the residents of Scardale was maybe a little unlikely. I think it's well-written; maybe psychological thrillers just aren't for me.
