Title: I figured out who the killer was right from the start.
Review: The Gears are among my favorate writers, their books are among the best of pre-historic North American fiction. The poem/vision of "Wolf" has set the stage for the rest of the books(until this one)and has kept us waiting to see where it will lead.That being said, this book was a wash! It is a complete takeoff from the rest and it is very poorly written. They just about gave away who the killer was while it was being done. I mean really, if you are about to run away with the love of your life to escape from an arranged marriage that your widowed mother has forced you into and you are discovered by the ONE person who could be described as "worst of your fears realized", WHO could the killer be?Did they use up all of their ideas for a mystery in "Silence", with it's plot twist that you could never guess, and "Earth" that kept you guessing till the end?This book is not worth your time to read.
