The author undoubtedly has a gift for storytelling. However, I had a psychological barrier reading a novel by a male who is writing as a `first person' female. The female lead character would make remarks and disclose `feelings' that made me pause and think: "Hang on that's actually a guy saying that"!There's a bit too much irrelevant 'filler' which does not advance the story - it's annoying and just makes for a longer book. There are a few occasions, even between paragraphs, when the time-frame just does not gel.The overall premise of the `villain's' rationale does not really crystallize and the final explanation seems cobbled together.Still - gave it ****!
