I think I liked this book so much because I was able to relate to the surroundings. As a Minnesotan author he based the book in Duluth and I could picture everywhere they went perfectly- it was like I was almost there. This book kept me guessing the ENTIRE way through and I couldn't put it down- I had to know how everything happened. It was a good mix between mystery, drama and love. I really loved this book- I'm going to look into reading more of his books.
