Mr. Reidinger has a way of writing that always captivate me. Though there was only one single scene where I would disagree with his characterization of the lawyer - it just came out too weak, suddenly too sensitive for the image otherwise built - I loved every single word and every single page of this book. I connected with the characters and felt so involved in their stories, it was amazing.

This is a dark tale indeed, with an unsatisfactory (if perhaps predictable) ending that seems to point to a moral I wasn't able to fathom. Reidinger's writing is however as good as ever (I've read several of his books) and will keep you hooked till the last spark vanished.

I picked this up at a yard sale. The lady warned me that it might be more than I expected. She was right. Would be an X-rated or porn movie. The title caught me.
