review 1: I wanted to give this book 3 stars, because I did like it, until about the last 15 pages. It was nicely paced and just a wee bit creepy, but the bottom fell out at the end. I particularly take issue with the ending of Sammy's Iditarod try. You don't bring a dog team, sled, equipment and supplies down to Alaska, then walk onto a commercial flight concourse to go home, alone, without anything more than a suitcase (if that). This is twice that McGrath overlooks key logistics in where a story line has taken a character and simply plunks him/her on a plane to move them along. It's not merely poor writing, but abysmal editing.
review 2: I listened to this on tape as I'm having eye issues. It was somewhat engaging, but I didn't find myself looking forward to hearing m... moreore. I find it so different to listen than to read so it's hard to be fair in my rating. It did have twists and turns that were quiet unexpected and it didn't have a long drawn out suspenseful ending, which I liked, so I think I might try others from this author. (the reader did very well also.) less
