A very nice book indeed. It first started with making introductions to a lot of the characters. Later on you understand why this is done so detailed, but while reading you just sometimes want the story to kind of get started. Once it gets started, it's clear why so many characters are part of the book; it's just to give you no idea of who did what... It's good written, gripping and you really want to get to the end and know whod did it (and the outcome did come as a surprise to me). Very nice book indeed and I might read an other one from this auther if I run into it.
