Query: I gave up.

I wanted to like this novel. Having never read one of Rozan's novels before, I did not know what to expect. What I found was a confusing mess of alternating viewpoints, unlikeable characters, and long-winded flashbacks which did nothing other than add pages to an already lengthy book. I gave up reading 3/4 of the way through--I just found myself getting annoyed with the pace and alternating narratives. Too bad, because the subject should have inspired an amazing story.
