Title: First time and last time reader
Review: This is the first book I've read by this author so maybe I'm missing something. I liked the idea of this book - it sounded like a great mystery. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The mystery takes second place to all the drama in the main character's life - I never got a good feel for the bad guy, why he became the way he did, how he continued to get away with it time & again, why everyone protected him. I didn't feel the victim's reactions were believable - they should have felt at least some pain or guilt over the loss of a semi-loved one. And the end just left me flat.
Is the review positive or negative?
