Poignant and heart breaking reveals about flawed and disturbed characters (0 more)

Mind warping and brilliantly twisted

Given that the main character in this novel is a boy in a coma it is surprisingly fast paced. The characters are complex and the mystery around Louis condition deepens as each page us turned.
Liz Jensen really explores the limits life, family and indeed our own thoughts put on us and our families, explores the human capacity for warmth and destruction whole painting a very clear grey picture - not everything is good or bad, life is often somewhere in between.

***ARC provided in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley***

I liked this. I liked the idea behind it; a real FBI agent having to work with a TV FBI agent. It was different and I did enjoy it.

The relationship did appear to just sort of happen. Sure there was sexual tension between them but nothing verbal for a long time and then they were suddenly in bed with each other. It just happened a little too fast for me.

Other than the relationship, I enjoyed the rest of the book, the case, the characters, the sub-plot.
