Fast pace, interesting characters. It started a bit slowly, more 'front story' than I thought necessary but segued into a tense, interesting storyline with a many layered plotline.Up until the final chapters, I found it to be a real page turner. The ending was, unfortunately for me, grim, nihilistic and while perhaps realistic it is not the kind of thing I want to read for entertainment.For me, a difficult book to rate. Prior to the ending, I'd have given it a 4 star rating and would have looked for additional books by the author. Unfortunately, the ending was a 1-star rating for me. I don't need my entertainment to be grim and depressing.It is an excellent book of it's type and will appeal to many readers. My dislike of the ending is strictly personal and readers without this particular aversion should find the book good entertainment.
