Advantages: Easy read

Disadvantages: Disappointing end

Reading the blurb on the back of the book, I was looking forward to reading it, and sure enough it started well.
As the book progressed, however, the plot seemed to veer off in odd directions. I realise that part of the narrative was intended to confuse the reader until the end, but there were scenes in it that were never explained nor resolved. The reader was not given enough information to follow the plot and feel just one step ahead. Exceptional thrillers allow the reader to work out the plot a page or two before it happens, rather than dumping it on them out of the blue.
I found the characters were sketchy, and a couple, who I perceived to be important to the plot, were never fully developed.
On the whole, disappointing

Summary: OK for a holiday read - no real substance
