Instead of giving a synopsis of the whole book, I would like to focus on the writing style of the author. What I enjoyed the most was the realistic dialogue of all the characters. For me, this is the most important aspect of a story. Simpson has a keen intuition and insight into real life people, how they speak, and their mannerisms. The setting and sometimes even the plot will not ring true if the players are shallow, fake, or unrealistic. Great character development is key to any great story, especially mysteries like this one. I will read more from this author and look forward to his future works.
