The most difficult reviews to write are for the books I really liked, because it's hard to analyze what left an emotion, so I must write a review based on impressions rather than on rational, critical thoughts.First of all, I'll never stop being impressed by Mr Lanyon's writing, it's at the same time a real pleasure and a never-ending surprise. I can't count the number of times I had to re-read a paragraph or a few lines of dialogue because they were too good.I liked the cast of characters. I enjoyed the way Elliot and Tucker were forced to meet again and how their first conversations seemed like the tip-toeing of elephants. It's always fascinating to watch estranged people who have to interact again (even if it's usually painful), because the intimacy they had is undeniable and it can't be suppressed and the situation was rendered beautifully.We had only Elliot's point of view, so we were closer to him, but it's Elliot who, at one point, acknowledges Tucker's reason for the way he behaved after Elliot's injury. The honesty and understanding made me feel an incredible admiration for him (and he's a fictional character!)I also liked the mistery. At one point I was so sure I had the murderer! Big surprise there and I'm not referring to whom the killer was, but to whom he wasn't, if it makes sense.5 star. I hope Elliot and Tucker will return. Please!
