The beginnings of this book are so well written and immediately give you a sense of the story to come, and the mysteries to unfold. There is something in the writing that speaks to me of Dan Brown or Stieg Larsson and I love the similarities and that makes me want to read more. Both authors can unravel mysteries slowly, taking you along in a story better than most. The characters are all very rich and deep so far, which always whets my appetite with a book, you see the difference between a well rounded character with hints of a mystery, compared to those that only seem to grow with the story. I am very intrigued to see where this story goes in the end.
