Summary: guaranteed to burn the midnight oil
Review: This debut thriller is a standout. Haunting and mesmerizing, it grabbed me and kept me up all night reading it. I was drawn into the minds of the characters who have to go with their lives while dealing with their changed world. Yet the author's touches of humor alleviate the intensity of the suspense.
Birnbaum displays a superior talent in a first novel, and we can only hope for more to come.
