I liked the second book of "The Mike Parsons' Trilogy" as much as the first one. The story was convoluted. Because it was longer, there was more character development, and I liked that more of the tale was from Allison's viewpoint. There were more surprising and fascinating events that kept me interested in the tale. I liked the story, but all of Mike's repetitive introspection got a little tiresome for me. Paul J McSorley's narration was good, and his performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
