I’m a little torn on this story. It certainly wasn’t what I expected it to be. It starts off as the story of an author and a woman he meets at a hotel trying to solve the mystery of a murder that occurred there many years earlier, but those characters quickly take a back seat and only pop up from time to time. The protagonists become three other characters from the time of the murder, all stuck in a life long love triangle, but their stories are told from numerous varied points in times, in an unchronological order, to the point that it can be very hard to follow if you aren’t paying 100% attention. Unfortunately, the story does drag a lot through the middle as it delves into the world of banking and rich people trying to obtain more money from other rich people. While the characters all have likable attributes, they also can be hard to side with at times. The final few hours are full of twists and turns, but nothing so major that it wasn’t at least partly predictable from a short while out.

Very long and convoluted, but well told.
