Tom Bale, an author I had read some great books, especially See How They Run, All Fall Down, but have not read his books for a while, so I dived back in, sadly did not pick the best one.
A good story. but just so many characters, every chapter going to new characters, it became quite confusing, the pace was a little slow as jumping to different stories, and not really a powerful ending.
Such a shame, and I have loved some of his previous books.
