As far as a mystery goes, if this had been presented in a straightforward manner, in a direct timeline, it would have been childishly simple. As it was presented in multiple flashbacks and flashforwards, the tension was built quite nicely and the ending, while inevitable, was still a bit of a surprise. With a book that leaps back and forth in time as this one does, it's often easy to become lost, but that didn't happen here. It was quite easy to follow once I realized what White was doing. Overall, very well done. Not one of his best mysteries, but one of his best thrillers in terms of tension build-up and release.
