This book kept me guessing throughout, and I had the unfortunate experience of a fairly abrupt ending that, while not leaving everything hanging, did kind of try to tie up everything in a bow that didn't quite sit right.
Still, I enjoyed it very much. It was well written and didn't go on too long, and I might benefit from coming back to it again at a later time. Might learn some things I missed the first time through. Not difficult material, writing-wise, but hard in the "dealing with grief" kind of way.
