I really like Jove. The mystery is a) nasty and b) extremely convoluted, but Cunningham's strong focus on his own interests (Jove, in particular) gives me a nice straight line to follow while the mystery goes looping around in all directions and then some. Mysterious motivations, double- and triple-crosses, accidental murder and failed murder. And then at the end a whole new motivation shows up which isn't really foreshadowed at all well - he could just have been nasty because he is, not because he's involved. Pathetic attempts at coverup when all is lost. And the final rubbing-in of error was amusing. I'd like to see her again. I like this book. ( )
