This book gripped me from the opening sentence. The style is fantastic; tight, quick and descriptive, and with a real purpose. From the beginning of the story, there is no wasted word, no over explained scene, no filler. Pure story that read like lightning. Almost instantly, I wanted to know why we were where we were and what the main character's back story was.

Set in some backwaters, with crocodiles lurking, this story wants you to know that you are not safe, that we will be dragged through some messiness. Crime, or moreso, the not doing of a crime starts our story as we met our main character, convicted and released of a heinous crime against a girl.

From there though, the book gets interesting.
