Predictable

It’s obvious who the villan is in this novel. It starts off well, but makes it obvious early on what the ending will be.

Satisfyingly Twisty

There are a couple of characters who, in ny opinion, needed to either be fleshed out more or pared down to only a mention. For instance, the inclusion of the teenage boy in the boat and the conflict he was experiencing that was wholly unrelated to the main storyline was distracting. However, these are minor, and completely subjective, flaws. All in all, I wholeheartedly enjoyed this book. Early on, there were several options as to who the "bad guy" might be, and even after finding out who's behind it all, the author managed to keep me on the edge of my seat right up until the very end. Overall, this was an entertaining, twisty-turny, good 'til the last word read/listen, and I can't wait to read more of this author's work.
