I often stop reading mysteries before the half way mark, but this book's fast pacing and never-ending plot twists held my attention to the very last page. It will be of attract the attention of those who, like me, are fascinated by the writers and the writing process. The plot centers on three very likable players whose characters are fully fleshed out both through description and action. The idea that fiction can feed conspiracy theorists is a very contemporary one. Given that so many writers are reserved observers, I found it a stretch to imagine they could be turned into hired assassins, however.
