Query: Excellent First Novel

Every time you read a first novel you take a chance. With Bell's firs novel, I must admit, this was a chance worth taking. This is an excellent book. The characters are both vivid and complex and the dialogues are truly authentic. The plot, though somewhat anticipated, keeps you on the edge till the very end.I would recommend this book and will await Bell's next novel..
