One scene near the end of the book had some nail biting suspense that had me sitting on the edge of my chair wondering what was going to happen. All the scenes were so well described that I felt as if I were an observer in what was going on. The characters seemed very real and one could not help pulling for the good guys and booing the bad guys. The plot had a few twists and turns and enough suspense to make it interesting. The author did an excellent job developing the plot, characters, dialogue, and scenes.
