I found the intricate details to be very well thought out and the storyline was interesting. The author does a great job building up the characters and letting you really get to know them through descriptive detail. Great dialogue, too. I like books that use dialogue to give the reader a sense of their personalities.The only reason why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 was because it seemed as though he skimped on the editing. Either his editor did not review the work enough or maybe the author tried to do it himself, so I did find a few distracting errors and wordiness in areas that an editor would have tightened up. But overall, I would never toss a great book just because of a few nit-picky grammar or punctuation things, so I was able to overlook these things and enjoy the mystery and plot of the story. I would have maybe liked to see a different beginning but was able to get into it after a few pages... it's just like you get the dinner right away without getting an appetizer first. If you know what I mean?I feel this book overall for the value is a really great read and I am definitely a big fan of mystery books!
