I went into this amazing book looking for a love story.  What I got was a dark suspenseful window on the  world....and love.  I was drawn along by crisply poetic prose and a trail of breadcrumbs.  Yes there is homage to Hitchcock but only just.  However, there is no doubt of its originality.  The suspense is breath-holding at times and the cynical humor is staunchly present as well as a finely crafted cast of characters.  Even the minor ones are real and important.When it comes right down to it, to me, the story is about two people who must allow themselves to love and trust by exorcising past demons and acting with courage they aren't  sure they have.If you are looking for a light happy romance, this isn't for you.  It's gritty, and though sex is there, it isn't always the comfortable sort.This book belongs in the mainstream of literature.  It is marvelous.
