Ratings and reviews

Ran at 100 miles an hour, a great follow up to Bone Field with lots of answers. Then... the ending! Made me very disappointed to have read the book. I know there's a third to this series, so can only hope it redeems itself.

Clumsy wrap up, felt like a 280 page cash in. Still don't understand how Tina's magic car works. Assuming it's like James bond, she pressed a button and it arrived outside...

Seems like no ending about Tina and Manning. What will happen to Ray? I hope there will be another sequel.
