Reviews

[Andrea · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is so much more than the blurb above would have you believe. It starts off as one thing and becomes far more than a mystery/thriller, although that's at the heart of it. A complex. multi-layered tale with interesting, fleshed-out characters and beautiful prose that becomes apparent after a few chapters. I've enjoyed several of Wiltse's other books, but this one stood out and might be my favourite. Had to order it via inter-library loan, but I think I may now have to buy it to add to my collection of keepers.

One of Wiltse's earlier books and a good one.
