I enjoyed this book.  A good story, it kept me in suspense.  The only thing that kept this book from being a four star book (I seldom ever give a book five stars unless it is really, really good, and that unfortunately is rare) is that it was written in British English, instead of American English.  And I am here to tell you, there is a big difference.  If a story takes place in the UK, then I expect someone to "ring someone up" rather than "call them on the phone".  When the story takes place in the USA, however, I expect American English.  Having to trip over "favourite" rather than "favorite" took my concentration away from the plot.  And "stamping" on the gas, rather than "stomping"?  And the list goes on and on page after page.  To me, this was a real distraction.  Other than that, (or if you happen to be a Brit and are used to this spelling and way of speaking!) this was a good book.  Just not a really good book.
