I really wanted to like this - she's a local (NW) author, and I like atypical mysteries. But the writing was far too flowery for my mystery tastes, and a big chunk of the story line was implausible. Kid-raised-by-apes is hard to do well, I'm thinking. I should give one of Abu-Jaber's other more "serious" books a try, possibly.

I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could. The mysteries of the current investigation and Lena's birth origin were woven together well, and Lena's birth kept me guessing for the longest time.

It was very long and only OK, in my opinion. Good enough that I finished it...
