I liked the darkness but the story style wasn't for me. Too often we had cliff-hanger endings to characters POV "chapters" for them to take too long resolve I felt strung along.
If you enjoy a dark thriller give this ago.

[Capuzzo] describes a Jersey Shore of elegance and enjoyment. When it was a status symbol to escape the cities. 1916 was a time of great turmoil with health crisis and a potential war in Europe so people flocked to the shore to escape all this but another danger lurked just off shore.
I know others who have read this book and wish they had introduced me to it sooner because it was an enjoyable, interesting and enlightening read of history and nature.

During WWII at the German POW camp, captured American and European soldiers try and make the best of things while trying not to anger their German captors while trying to figure out how to escape.
Two men are shot dead at the beginning doing just that and suspicions arise quickly as to how the Germans discovered the escape plot so quickly.The prisoners figure out there mus be a German collaborator in their midst feeding their captors information and spying on them. All eyes point to Sefton (Holden) since he trades with the guards and they treat him well.
The tone of this film was a lot lighter than I expected. I thought it would be more like The Bridge on the River Kwai or The Great Escape, but it ended up being more like an episode of Hogan's Heroes at times. This is not a complaint, I was just surprised.
The comradery among the men was humorous and compelling at times while they try and figure out who has been snitching on them to the Germans. Once it is figured out, they have to try and save an officer who has joined their ranks before they are discovered.
A true classic.
