Another first following from the Stephen King experience earlier in the year.
Apparently this is not typical of the author though it does mix the natural and supernatural in a thriller setting. Character development was a little flat and
the heroine and hero a little too good to be true while the villains were just
bad. Some of the imagery is rather overblown - "In the sky's distillery, the
afternoon light was a weak brandy' being a particularly noteworthy example.
The various strands from the early chapters are skillfully brought together and the book is a good read. I shall eventually try others.
