Changes

That fact – that if the truth be told it was far too close to halfway when I'd guessed the status of the key person, if not his current identity – can count against the book, but it's about the only thing that does. Despite my comments, the author pretty much sticks to her side of the bargain – neither hiding too much nor too little from us, and giving us one more singular drama, that both hints at nightmares built into the very rock of Iceland and provides evidence that the human heart is blacker and more violent than a volcano's output.

For a slightly more straight thriller, again one building back up to its prologue, we can suggest [[Distress Signals by Catherine Ryan Howard]].
