The narrative fell apart in the final chapters - Hawkins seems to have been unable to stick the landing. In retrospect - looking back at the narrative the slow build up to Graces' nature was obvious even if it was played coyly - Becker may have died, may not have died - the author wasn't able to decide so the ambiguity. The last chapter leading to the murder or attempted murder becoming more fragmented and abstract read as if it were a work in progress. Clearly what Hawkins needed was a more diligent and rigors editor . . . so we have an ambiguous ending to a novel that had atmosphere but little story and little full character development. It was a disappointing read - which I left from time to time - and simply pushed through to call it done . . .

I felt that he was drowning and was dying of hyperthermia. I thought Grace once again got away with murder.
