I loved this book. The style of writing was good. I like that the chapters went back and forth between present and past times and each chapter left you wanting to go onto the next. The characters were well developed. I very much liked Paul and how torn he was about his mother and his childhood. His relationship with his childhood friends was well written and you could easily see yourself in that group. As the story developed the murders of those people and trying to figure out who was the killer was very intriguing. I thought I had it figured out many times before the end and was wrong on all accounts. I very much lived the ending. Book endings are important to me an this book had a well written ending. I would definately encourage everyone to read this book by Alex North. I am looking forward to reading more by him.
