Cronin's prose is top tier among writers of any genre and the first 60% of this book was wonderful to me. But I quickly became very confused and when I get confused I get bored and when I get bored I zone out and have read several pages and can't remember a word I just read. I had to read spoiler reviews just understand the ending. Honestly I didn't miss much because it wasn't that interesting of ending when you take into consideration how great the build up was.
