This is an excellent book. The writing is excellent, the characterizations come about naturally and effortlessly in the course of the story, and the mystery itself is riveting. Only a few minor things account for the subtraction of one star. The main one is that, despite some great red herrings, I knew who the culprit was fairly early on.  That said, the story is so well told that, in the end, just seeing how the author brought all the threads together & the villain to justice was worth it.  The only other quibble was the on-again/off-again nature of Lucas & Beth's relationship - I found her a little annoying, but taken as a whole, the book might have been less thrilling without that additional by-play.  I will definitely be seeking out more books by this author.
