I started reading this book last night.  I ended up staying up reading the whole night, because I just could not put it down.  Thank goodness today is Saturday!  I don't really want to go into the plot, as I don't want to spoil it for anyone.  Suffice it to say, Josh Lanyon is the master of telling a story through the perspective of one character, and he does so here with his usual brilliance.  You get pulled in immediately, when Griff shows up at the Arlington's Long Island estate to start his in-depth research on his book.  Lanyon takes you on a ride with many twists and turns throughout the story, which leaves you feeling quite satisfied at the end.As usual, Lanyon draws deep and engaging characters, giving a good glimpse into the psyches of even some with relatively small roles in the story.  The dynamics of the interactions between the varying personalities always feels unforced and true to life.  The relationship that builds between Griff and Pierce is certainly not an easy one, but it is quite rewarding to watch it develop.  Even as they verbally duel towards the beginning of the story, the chemistry between them is palpable.They mystery itself is well thought out.  And even when you think you know what's going on, it will never quite be as clear cut as you may assume.  Lanyon's mysteries are always entertaining, and will usually throw unexpected curves in the road.  This was Lanyon's first full-length novel in a while, and it was a fantastic addition to an already awesome list!  I'm also super excited, because I've heard he's starting on the sequel to "Fair Game", one of my all-time favorites!!!!
