This story is so fast moving, I could hardly keep up. But since it was one of the best mysteries I have read in a long time, I did my best! I know it's a cliche, but in this case it's the honest truth: I could not put it down. From the first page it was a heart stopper. I couldn't believe how tense I became while reading.The characters became very real to me almost instantly, and the murder that occurred was dreadful and gruesome. There were many strange happenings, and many weird people. It was all very believeable and it scared me to death.The two detectives who were on the case were fascinating, and the other main character, a social worker, was very believable. This is not your typical mystery. There are many twists and turns and unexpected happenings.I was certain I had it all figured out, which didn't make it any easier to read. I wanted it to end and I wanted it to somehow end happily. Then it did end, and I was completely wrong about everything I thought I knew.All in all, this story kept me engrossed to the exclusion of everything else. This is a must read for anyone who loves suspense stories -- but be warned: don't start reading it until you have time set aside to do nothing else.
