642 pages should have been 342 pages. The plots and subplots connected in a very contrived way, with a final murder being completely out of sync with the character. In fact, the main suspect, rapist and killer, seemed totally unbelievable to me. However, I kept reading, waiting for a brilliant conclusion. Was the obsession by Roy Grace with the cold case of Rachel really his wanting to solve his wife's disappearance?
