review 1: The details of that long ago crime are revealed slowly. But the story in the current timeline is compelling enough to make the flashbacks a bit annoying - especially when there's little surprise once you know all. Details of their past crime are meant to help explain who they are today rather than as a standalone plot point. Once I realized that, the flashbacks made more sense. I guessed some of the main plot points fairly early but the two main characters are well written and I really wanted them to come out okay. The last part of the book picks up the pace and the ending is really the only proper thing that could happen. It was a good book, well written and satisfying.
review 2: I picked this up randomly at my library. It's not my usual choice of genre, bu... moret it was enjoyable. I found it somewhat hard to read because it is very, very British, so some of the references and colloquialisms were lost on me. Still, the degradation of one of the main characters through the course of the book was fantastic, and I enjoyed how the book played with the reader's sense of identification by switching between different characters' points of view. less
