This is a mystery/thriller with a decided dark, psychological edge. Fans of Hannibal Lector and Silence of the Lambs will enjoy this one.I thought it was a magnificent read, very compelling story, good strong dialogue and characters, with many plot twists. I highly enjoyed the book and it has a great twist at the end that you won't see coming. My only complaint, like some other reviewers, is that the book could have been edited tighter. Too many spelling errors and improper word usage, although they weren't significant enough to detract my interest in the book.There are some terrific descriptive scenes of Oxford, England and Oxford University here and it makes me want to revisit the place.Holloway is a very good writer who captivates the reader and builds solid suspense in the novel. A great read -- well worth the 99 cent Kindle price. It's a steal for the reader. One of the best thrillers I've read in 2011.
