(Part One of this Present Tense Book Review.)
This was a fun book – lately I seem to be reading a lot of books that are written from multiple perspectives, and this was nicely done here. The characters are believable, and the plot is intricate and surprising. If you read enough thrillers and watch enough detective shows on TV, elements of the plot can seem obvious, even if you’re not trying hard to work out the mystery. Columbo-style ‘already-know-whodunnits’ can be entertaining, but it’s satisfying to have a good, unexpected (but plausible) twist, such as this book provides.
