Not Ware's best; the mystery is a little too convenient in places and some of the possible explanations believed or ignored felt like a stretch. I also found the killer's characterization immediately suspicious and was certain about their identity less than 100 pages in, but it's to Ware's credit that I was drawn in by the book's tension and completely entertained watching events unfold anyway. And the atmosphere, as usual, is wonderful. This wasn't a standout for me, but for a bit of weekend enjoyment it did the job just fine.
