Once again Chris Bohjalian has written a novel that is difficult to put down. It is a multi-layered book about crises told from different perspectives, which enhances the knowledge we have of the characters. The plot involves a minister who has apparently lost his faith, a physically abusive husband and his wife and daughter, and a woman whose life is centered around angels after her parents died as the result of a murder/suicide. The suspense builds to a stunning conclusion and is told in Bohjalian's characteristic dead-on style.
