This book was a  brilliantly crafted story.  Much of it seemed almost like prose.  The characters were all portrayed in a way that was so clear and constant that it really gave them life.  The situations were all exciting and interesting.  There were a few very surprising turns in the plot that it was difficult to stop reading at any point in the story. I would recommend this book as a great mystery disguised as simple character study.  I was sorry to see it end; hope there will be a sequel.
