I guess I'm in the minority here but I just couldn't get into this book. I enjoy a deep psychological thriller as much as the next person but although this author grabbed my attention, he failed to hold it. The writing was too one dimensional for me and I just couldn't feel connected to any of the characters or care what happened to them. The suitable plot line was there, deep dark secrets were there, grammer and the rest were there but somehow it did not add up all together to form a compelling story. But maybe it's Richard Laymon's fault since I just finished his book "Blood Games" and that story just couldn't be beat for creepy atmosphere and a tension building plot.
