Grueling who-done-it.

Psychologically dark, with many twists and turns keeping the reader turning the page.  Great characters and story blend into a believable story.

Very good book. A who done it book as much as you think that you know how things are being done yet you are left baffled.

Hard to put this book down.  A constant tug-of-war between the "good" guy and the bad guys.
You can't stop reading at the end of a chapter.

I usually like to read intense, gritty murder mysteries, but this one was too tough. The author got too inside the killer's head. I couldn't manage those parts of the book. It's a good read though, for someone more inclined to the violence than I.

Lots of twist and turns.  You never know which direction the next step will take you.  A bit tedious at times.

Full of suspense..never figured out "who did it" until the very end. There were so many twists, I was worn out after reading.

Terrific plot, as much of it as I could follow. Kanon's writing style is crisp and clipped in the extreme, and maybe it's just me, but the demands on the gentle reader to infer just what was meant or what is actually going on are too much and become irritating. I will leave him to the folks who can complete the New York Times crossword puzzled in ink.

A little tedious to finish but some unusual action throughout, the ending a little farfetched, the typical FBI woman who thinks she knows it all but worth the readers time. Gruesome in places but I guess that's how police work is but plausible

The reader will not figure out the bad guy until the very end. It could be any one of the many FBI on the case or one of the other characters posed as a victim. This story kept me guessing!

This should be a mandated reading. Difficult...so much detailed information.  But well worth the effort.

Here's a novel where the reader cannot determine who the villain is until more than halfway through. Truth be told. there are really no good guys but one person stands out worse than all the rest!

A gripping tale, but almost overwhelming with its many twists and turns.  I had to persevere to finish, but I couldn't stop.

Condor is back in the stacks, this time at the Library of Congress.  Assigned to search thru books from closed military bases for classified documents or notes, prior to disposal, the reluctant, but ever observant, Condor uncovers a puzzling discrepancy in the delivery/disposal records.  He also meets a terrified LOC staffer who is being stalked on the job and feels compelled to help find the stalker.  From there, the two seemingly unrelated threads become entangled and, once again, we are off on a nail-biting, rollercoaster ride of confusion, conspiracy, sleuthing, and suspense.  My only complaint is it's over almost before it begins.

The villian in the book is truly villianous.  It made it hard for me to sleep the night I finished it.

Mystery about a local's death complicates a will of a well to do  patriarch and final decisions are muddied by unusual accidents. A fun who done it !

Interesting case and glad that the murderer did not get away with it even though it took a decade plus
to convict her.  However, the book went into way too much detail, especially the drawn-out trial portion.
To have had the last chapter shortened to Sheila choosing to defend herself which allowed the jury to ascertain
quickly what a 'whacko' she was...and that her pathological lying finally got the best of her and she was sentenced
to life in prison.  The End

If I figure out "who-did-it" half way through a book,  I have a hard time finishing it.
No so with this one.  Excellent way with words.
