A true page-turner best read over a weekend. I read this over a week while traveling, and I forgot the details about minor characters from one reading session to the next. I honestly think the book would be better if it didn't introduce so many side characters just to show their motivations over the course of the Riva party. I really enjoyed the family drama and wondered how the conflict between the siblings would (or wouldn't) resolve by the end.
