The term ‘jazzed’ was used a little too often in general for my liking. I am probably being a little picky, but as an example, in the middle of a kidnapping it really broke the spell for me when the kidnap victim’s husband was described as ‘being jazzed’ during the hunt for the kidnapper. For instance certain phrases, presumably favourites of Gardner herself, were used multiple times with respect to and by multiple characters. So, what were my reservations? I just think this novel could have done with stronger editing. There is something about it – it is moody. I also love the cover – that is what attracted me to this novel in the first place. The characters were reasonably well developed also.
The story itself was a smart one and well formulated.
It was a solid mystery thriller, with great momentum, red herrings and plot twists galore.
