A well-written novel. I enjoyed the non-US setting and the mystery aspect. This did read a little young even though it had more "mature" content. It would probably appeal to the 12 and up side of YA. I would look for this author's next books.

I really enjoyed reading this, it had a strong concept and dealt with deeper topics. I thought the characters felt like they were supposed to and thought they worked well in the setting. Desmond Hall writes a realistic story with real characters. The cover adds to the tension and worked with the story.

Dnf. I read up to the 20 percent mark and could not finish. I think the story has potential, but the language barrier was too much. I could not understand what was being said in the book, and that is why I did not finish it .
