Lets discuss the book.

What did you think of the plot? And the Characters?

James Thane (jameslthane) | 1 comments I agree. I think this is one of Coben's better stand-alones--hard to put down once you really get into it.

Ice Bear (neilar) The W was in the library, Mr W was still out on a loan(? investigation).

First monthly read for me (ever), becoming a tortoise, late starter and slow reader.

Also first time reading this author.

Ice Bear (neilar) 5 chapters gone.

At the momemnt this reads like a holiday read, something can be picked up and put down. I think the typeface is putting me off.

I have been to the US enough to understand some of the colloquialisms'. There are some nice moments that I can empathise with, like the reading ritual to his daughter.

Ice Bear (neilar) Chapter 9 ticked.

Slowly getting it, there are some of you like my wife who would have solved it by now. I am just happy to get 50% of the clues correct for the following chapter.

I keep quietly smiling at the inter generational observations.

On course to complete this in May, just as well as it needs to be returned to the library on 1st June !

Dogs of Riga may be a 'May read sometime' in 2011, not withstanding its walkabout from the library.

Ice Bear (neilar) Chapter 16 completed
There is one good thing about the layout - the chapters are short, so reading during the odd break at work is not too much trouble.

Except, and this bugs me, there are multiple sections / story line continuance within chapters, with only small hints of 'same time' chronology.

Ice Bear (neilar) Overall a good holiday read, not too deep. I felt that it wandered in the middle. The twists and turns were in the main, well signposted.
