Exactly as the title of my review says, I wasn't sure about this at first. The sentences are clipped for effect, which sets the tone of the scene really well, but it's not the style of writing I normally get drawn into. I kept reading nonetheless, and by the end of the second chapter I was more than intrigued.
Much like in a real life scenario, you only find out details about the characters as the story moves on. Unlike other books where paragraphs included to add a depth of understanding about a character or a place, there is none of that here. The author uses this to great effect to make you feel like you're part of the investigation team; using only intuition and assumption to draw conclusions and pose more questions about the scene around you.
I've only read the first few chapters, but I get the feeling this story will only get more gripping and intense...!
