3.5 stars, almost a full 4. Good idea even though I worked out what was going on fairly early on (that's not to say the writer did too much foreshadowing, I've just read a lot of thriller/mysteries lol). I liked the main character, and the pacing was good (some reviewers have mentioned 'slow parts' but all good tales require a rise and fall of action, with a little more 'rise' each peak, if the story is going to flow well). Yes, there were some issues with grammar/phrasing but in all honesty it didn't pull me up short; there really weren't a large amount, and the book cost me pennies, I wasn't expecting Shakespeare. Overall I enjoyed it and would read this author again (in fact I'm about to read one of his other books)
