So, what can I say? If you have difficulty with an intense CSI episode, I would not recommend this for you. Also, there were a few questions unanswered that are still poking at the edge of my mind. The last 50 pages were definitely the most difficult in that respect and I probably would not have finished if I wasn’t so involved in the story by that point. I’m hardly opposed to violence in books, but woahwoahwoah there is a point where enough is enough. I understand the use of violence in describing the murder of Rachel and then later as the excitement mounts. Unfortunately (I hate that word), there was a lot going against this book for me as well. This novel completely “plumbed the depths” so to speak of the capability for evil in humans. The mystery, although developing a little late in the book, was well formulated and believable. I could hardly stand putting it down without figuring out each development and hoping against all evidence that the brothers could pull it together and honor their sister.

I was sucked in right from the very first line: That is the most accurate word to describe this book.
