Exactly what I would expect from Julia. She's an extremely gifted writer.
Each chapter has its own existence that seems detached from the body of the story, but comes together to prove it's all integral to the ending. I'm only disappointed that more books haven't been released by this author. She definitely rivals Patricia Cornwell and Alex Kava at crafting a chilling psychological tale.
