Occasionally I read a book that I admire but have a hard time recommending. This is one of them. The problems I have with the book are (1) there are no likable characters and (2) I found the jumping around in time – from 1991 to 2016 – to be distracting. That said, I have to admire the author’s craftsmanship. She worked hard at developing an intense story and manages to tell it with some major plot twists that she keeps well-concealed. So I admire the book but didn’t like reading it very much.
