Review: kept me intrigued from start to finish!

I bought this book after reading (and loving) the Rook and Ronin series and  it did not disappoint. Although I did guess the truth about halfway through, this did not detract, at all, from the wonderful, well-constructed emotional arc of the story.This is a story whose characters feel real and whose plot is no less plausible than many news stories. The bit-by-bit reveal of details does not feel like one of those overdone  "OMG,  have a secret I can't tell for 90% of the book! But I'll keep talking about how I can't tell over and over.." Instead, the reader feels unbalanced as Francesca/Fiona must with events swirling around her and eager to see where this is going.  Which is why I got very little done after I started the book this morning, breaking grudgingly for some work and errands, all the while thinking about the book.Highly, highly recommended. Just make sure your calendar is relatively clear! :)
