This book was good, I enjoyed it a lot and I can see myself recommending this to a lot of people.
Without spoiling it, I really enjoyed the slow build up to the crescendo, however I did feel that the last act all happened so fast and it wasn't as satisfying a pay off as I would have liked.
The tension I feel was ripped off like a plaster and before I caught my breath we had moved on to the end.
I liked the atmosphere of this book a lot, but wish there was more ending.
