I really liked this book, but in the first one there was more with his girlfriend and her daughter. This one didn't have them as much and I found that I missed the interactions of those characters.
If you were expecting something more in the horror line, you might be a little disappointed. This is definitely a more conventional mystery-thriller.
I read this again thinking I hadn't finished the first time. Turns out I did. Still a great ride. The storyline is a tad dated and extreme on hindsight. But when character development, plots and prose are as strong an as they are in this book, plausibility of scenarios can take a step back. Enjoyme...
Fast read. Typical Wilson book. Hard to put down. A little cheesy in the description of the HIV children.
