For those that enjoy twists and turns (and occasional shocks) this one is definitely recommended!! I found myself looking forward to each chapter with anticipation while delving into the social ramifications of at least part of this story. It shines a light on greed, lust, envy, corruption and the need for power. It is up to the listeners to decide if the author crossed moral lines and if there was elements of the Supernatural at play. I gave it 4 stars due to occasions throughout the story that defied logical conclusions and seemed to be too neatly explained away (or
not explained at all) as well as the often robotic narration that might be attributed to enhance a similar story theme. Despite implausibility, the story and characters kept me awake and engrossed even during times of repugnance. It will be interesting to see how the author’s other books compare and contrast to this one.
