A quick read that I'd recommend to those who aren't too finicky about writing style but love good content!

A good, fast and fun read, I thought, and a great "reveal" at the end. I agree it wasn't great literature, but I liked it enough to get another of his books, Desert Places, which I'll get to soon.

Currently reading Guilt by Kellerman, another in the psychologist Alex Delaware series. Good solid stuff, if not particularly exciting at the moment.
