Excellent mystery with a complicated but interesting plot. The protagionist holds your attention as he begins to uncover the lies and deciet surrounding the death of his lover. He doesn't reveal everything to the reader but as he goes along, it becomes obvious that he is lying to himself and yet you want him to succeed and come out at the end in a positive way.
