" I have read several of Elizsabeth George's books and usually enjoy them, for some reason i did not rate this one very highly and was pleased to get to the end of it, i found the story which had several threads all coming toghether at the end just to long and cumbersome, and i just wanted them to get on with it, it had several characters in who were just superflous to the plot, the switch between narrative and the diary was annoying, there was to much toing and froing between Gideon and his father, i just found it annoying and very slow going. Gideon seemed to be the main character in the plot and all the other characters pushed to the side, by the end of the book i found i did not really care who did it !! "
