Reichs' books are an easy read (probably why I read them). I've read two of hers so far. This one for me was confusing. Because I couldn't read it straight through (or almost straight through), I couldn't keep up with the cast of thousands. Okay, there were not thousands but you know what I mean. I feel there are too many characters to really get a good grip on the story line. And, in order to close off all the various story lines without making this a HUGE book, some easy endings are opted for.

One thing that really bugs me about the book is the in-your-face foreshawdowing. About three or four times at the end of the chapter sentences such as "I was about to find out" or "I couldn't know how right I was" are used. (I'm paraphrasing here). Come on, you don't need to hit me over the head -- be creative when forshadowing something. I'm intelligent, I'll get it.

All that being said, I will probably read one or two more to see if anything differs. My fear is that the location and names will change but the storyline will not.
