I got this as a Kindle First book. I read this entire thing looking for the point at which I would care about the mystery, and I never really found it. There were some well drawn moments, but much of this book left me feeling emotionally removed. I felt like maybe that was because there were a lot of characters, some of them well formed, but we never got to spend enough time with any one of them to identify with them as much as I think the reader should be able to do. There were also a LOT of sentence fragments - like, I'm not picky about that sort of thing, but it was extremely frequent and sometimes very noticable. I did read to the end, and the reveal was a surprise, definitely - but I wish I had been in a position to care more.
