Some weird twists and highly convoluted what-ifs, most of which end up being simpler than the truth. I really dislike the motivation for the whole mess, but that's because I see it too much in real life. And I was wondering whether the burned carcass described in the first chapter was Mim - no, it's not. Her story is kind of a side story - it only gives the...not bad guy (at least not the major one) - the idiot a reason to approach Cunningham and set off his alarms. ( )
