Review title: Talented writer's debut novel is weak, very weak
Product review: I really wanted to give this book two or three stars, but one character commits an act of such callous disregard for the safety of two female companions that I could not do it. Mr. Smith certainly has the talent to create many a blood chilling moment (and many are peppered throughout this somewhat over long book), but the characters act in stupid and/or uneven ways for the sake of advancing the plot. Bad sign that - it means the writer did not fully grasp his characters or his story. Better luck with your next book Mr. Smith.
