I don't know.....the ending just seemed to tie it all up in a neat little bundle, and present it to the reader. For some reason I would have preferred more to be revealed along the way, rather than in one go. As it was, it felt like nothing happened in the first 90% then all was revealed in the last 10%. I'd say it was an ok read, and I'll read the sequel at some point, but it's not a book that I would read again.
Yeah, but the way it was written, so much was held back until the end that no-one could have guessed the culprit. Normally in a detective story there are clues dropped along the way, so the reader can try to figure things out as well (even if they may be completely wrong ), but that wasn't the case with this one.
