The best I can muster is a qualified "ok." The writing is just a little flat somehow. I would really like to be able to qualify that more specifically - but I can't. Well - there was this one habit that started grating on me - and on a look back I couldn't find an example - but he ended many chapters (enough to annoy me, at any rate) with pained exclamations by the main character: "Oh, Clare, why did you do it!" to his dead sister and so on.
Also, it is what I consider a dishonest murder mystery. The murderer just sort of springs out of nowhere. He is in there, but way off to the side - and absolutely nothing points to him.
