I hate that this book was not a good read. It seemed that the majority of the book consisted of the characters walking around in the kitchen, eating, saying, "What is going on?" There are about four things that happen during the first 3/4 of the book that get the reader thinking. But the potential of those mysteries are not fulfilled. The reader is held on the edge the entire book. During the last 15 pages or so, there are two other mysteries that arise. No mysteries are uncovered and the story is filled with useless scenes.
Sincere apologizes to the writer for my thoughts. I'm sure he worked hard on the book.
