Review: Lots of loose ends - and that's a good thing

This type of story can polarize readers' opinions; some readers like a story that leaves room for the readers' imaginations to fill in the gaps, and some readers get frustrated if all the loose ends are not gathered up by the end.  If, like me, you're one of the former, then you'll probably enjoy this story.  About the only mystery that I did not appreciate was the identity of "Mark" (you'll have to read to the very last word in this story to see what I'm talking about).Leaning heavily on tropes such as in the TV show "Lost", Hopkins does a good job of gradually increasing the tension and the sense of menace.  Not knowing the how or the why of what happened on the island contributes to that sense of menace.
