Buy that empty explanation to continue reading. So why? It isn’t clear except for a psychologically twisted explanation that she … what? owed this to someone? It isn’t really clear.
Cassie conceals information from her handler and superior officer – why? It was dangerous to do that and in fact the case would likely have come to a better conclusion had she been a team-player. You could cut 20% of the book without interfering with the mood, style, plot or charcterizations. I don’t buy the idea that this is a “literary novel” so that gives the author “permission” to write endlessly. The explanations of Cassie’s emotions and the details of the relationships in the community are verbose and become annoyingly boring. Will her impersonation of Lexie, a young adult living in a cult-like community, be discovered? Will the other 4 members realize that she is not the cult member they lived with for two years? Did one of the 4 actually kill Lexie? The concept is good and the tension is there.īut for me, the suspense is sidelined by several distracting factors about the story: Tension (suspense) picks up for remainder, however, as Detective Cassie from the Dublin police, the main character, goes undercover. 
By chapter 3 I am ranting, “Come on! Get on with it!” Don’t sit around and think, complain, and plan.
It was hard to get into it in the first 3 chapters (96 pages).
