Customer Reviews

A great debut

I heard about this book at the World Mystery Convention in Toronto. Littleford was on a panel and she described the story. It sounded interesting enough that I picked up a copy a few months later. I wasn't disappointed. I finished the book in a few days. The plot is simple and compelling, and the portrait of a normal person being twisted by obsession and a desire to escape his mundane life was believably drawn. I picked up Littleford's second book (Death Duty) on the strength of this one. Oh, and to the reviewer who said the book would have been better had the protagonist been a lesbian: If you'd read the book carefully, you might have realized that the turning point in the story (I won't spoil it by saying what it was) hinges on the main character being male. It would not have worked had he been a woman.
