This was an easy light read. Nothing extremely enticing or boring - just an average book. It would be a good beach read or something to tuck in between a couple heavy literary works. Would not have been a book I would have selected, had it not been a read for a book club. I found the characters overly dramatic and somewhat unbelievable, but that may have been the point of the book. I have not read any other works by James Anderson. Not a good discussion book for a book club.
