I can see from the other reviews that I am in the minority here, but this book just didn't measure up for me. There are a couple of things that I look for in a book. It has to have either a believable plot, characters that I came to know and care about, or some twist that I didn't see coming. This book didn't have any of those for me. It felt like the author spent 5 or so pages pulling together the ending. I think that when you finally find out "whodunit", you should be able to go back and see where the author left the clues that you didn't see. At the end of this one, there were too many things that seemed to be added to make it all come together. But the biggest problem for me was that, at the end of the book, I didn't feel as though I knew anything about the characters. They all just seemed to "be" there, never fully developed into anyone I would care about. The saddest thing about that is that I think the potential was there, but was never realized. I can't see myself buying another installment in this series and I cannot recommend this book.
