This book was very good-a great sequel to The Priest's Graveyard. Without spoiling anything, I can say that although the plot is a little predictable, Dekker throws so many curveballs at you that you question yourself, and when you reach the end of the book, you're left saying, "Wow...I was right all along...but I never would have guessed THAT!" As a huge Dekker fan, I can say it isn't my favorite Dekker book, but it was still a fun book to read.
