Negative Positive
Title: A good beach read
Review: Everything you'd expect in a beach read, astutely observed and well researched, if a bit predictable. The characters seem a little too stock and not original enough, not like people you know, which would heighten the suspense. A very good writer delivering a solid mystery, but it would be fun to see him try something truly original and out of his margin of comfort.
