Review: An Interesting Thriller - held my attention to the end!
Rating: 4 out of 5

After a slow and somewhat confusing first chapter or so, this suspense novel takes off, holds your attention  and is an interesting, and unusual tale with mostly engaging characters.  After the first chapter or two, I was hooked and read it straight through.  The settings - residential treatment center for the mentally retarded, Vermont in the winter, and scuba diving in Costa Rica seem accurately portrayed and the suspense builds at a steady pace.  The denouemont seemed a bit forced, but satisfying.I learned about a medical condition that I hadn't known about, the road construction business, and diving with sharks off Costa Rica and a bit about this country and its people.  The suspense and character development built slowly, but steadily and the main characters were engaging characters to spend some time with.I would definitely read more recent books by this author.  His bio and life experience sound fascinating, so I expect other unusual characters, settings and story lines to come.I read the kindle ebook version.
