An interesting read. It's very much of it's time in the way it's written, the way the characters are portrayed but it's easy to read and engrossing. You end up rooting for the villain a bit, though I did find the ending a bit disappointing. It sort of reminded me of a Columbo episode - you know what's going to happen because it's all up front, the interest is the slow unveiling of the method that was used. I definitely recommend reading it.
