I read the first few pages. Great writing, great suspense. Is the writing this good all the way through? Does it get schmaltzy?

Sarah Ozcandarli There is not one moment of schmaltz.

Pixellle This book is a schmaltz-free zone. Even though there is a blind girl.

Marge This book is wonderful. No schmaltz

Sondra To me the ending fell apart
