Every once in a while, a book comes along that just grips you with story and characters that engage and enthuse you. The storytelling and writing is gorgeous.. Whitaker has a beautiful way of expressing the language and pulling you in with rich descriptions and world building.

This was a book I read in a day, as I simply could not put it down.. I laughed. I cried, I gasped. I grieved. Until the very satisfying end of this book, I was thoroughly engaged—invested— in this story which pulled me in and never let go.

This is a mystery and a thriller contained in a piece of well written literature.
