Plot, I suppose is predictable--yet it's not, with unexpected twists and turns that fall nicely into place as you finish the story. Action balanced with introspection in just the right proportions.Characters are great--not that they are nice people but that they have been delineated using just a few words to describe a complex character (not an easy thing to do). Actions flow appropriately from each person's character; you may find yourself saying, "I know somebody like that."Setting--also drawn with a paucity of description, just enough that the reader can see for himself the surroundings, the other characters.It was very satisfying to have all the plot threads resolved, yet nothing felt contrived (well, maybe just a little bit, but this is fiction, after all)."One More Lie" is how good fiction is written, ladies and gentlemen.
