This is one of the rare moments where a television series outstrips its source material. The prose is filled with Nunn's usual heft and solid pacing at the beginning, but it starts to drift off halfway through the book. Nunn also either peeled away too much of his characters veneer or tried to have one too many antiheroes in the same book. It's not unreadable, and it was fun. But the suspense and the idea of playing to a psychological thriller were not carried out to the end.
