"Makes me angry still. To have a place tainted like that... It's another violation on top of the original one. It happens all the time - you go walking somewhere, or swimming or running - whatever it is, your thing, the thing you enjoy - you go to a place, and it's beautiful and unspoiled, and you are doing that thing you love, and then someone - not always a man, I suppose, but usually a man - comes along and transforms it into an ugly place. And you never feel safe there again. And you are never the same again. The place is changed and you are changed, and neither for the better."

I struggled with this one. The mystery kept me interested, but I was disappointed in a lot of it, especially the ending. I also had a hard time with the relationships between the characters. I personally didn't find any of them believable.

    While there were certainly mysteries! One was pretty easy to figure out, but the rest I didn't see coming.
  Wow, did I HATE that ending, however! I mean what happened?! It's like a cliffhanger, but there's no sequel. I dislike it when books have an ambiguous ending. 
   The characters were also highly unlikable, I couldn't even find one of them likable. I understand characters having flaws, but none of them seemed to be decent people.
   Overall, the book was meh and would have been so much better if at least some of the characters were likable.


Narrator Rating: 4.25 stars
   The narrator did an excellent job, just not as talented as others I've heard.
