It's not an easy book to characterize: not really horror or mystery, almost a gothic but not quite. Whatever the category, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters are well-drawn if definitely off-center, the pace picks up speed as the novel progresses, and I found myself reluctant to put it down.

Book took a while to really get into it... but give it a chance and keep reading and it does get better!

Someone suggested this book to me,and I really enjoyed it.This is the second book from this author that I have read and I both were very good.Quick reads,but definitely page turners.

Bolton is a wonderful writer and this book is not exception. The story is engrossing and the characters great. Be warned though that a great deal of the plot has to do with snakes--biting people, infesting houses, being studied and cataloged. If you don't like snakes this may not be for you.
