Wow, @Deborah_C1! 16 is impressive. I agree with you and @Karen_Belyea that this one was good, but maybe not quite up to the same level as some of his other novels. I thought his most exciting book was The Lioness, while the one with the most depth was The Sandcastle Girls. It’s not that this one was bad, it’s just I have really high expectations for his work based on his previous efforts.
