Although Paul Clouse is vaguely present in this episode of the series, he still has a prominent importance in the plot. Never say never when considering what might be plausable. The twist in the events will surprise readers, but no doubt the ending will delight. The characters in the investment group visiting the mansion seem believeable and personable. O'Brian has again created characters who resonate with real life individuals and touch your heart. The villians are delightfully evil. I can't wait to see what will happen in the next book. The murder scenes/descriptions are again gruesome and adult language is present in the text. The pictures at the end of the book illustrate the rich history of the area which is tied into the writing. Vivid description and humouous metaphors and similies add to the colorful writing. Don't miss this one!
Note: Although this is book four, most of the characters in the first three books are not central characters in this novel so you may easily read book four without having first read the earlier trilogy. The investment group characters are the main focus of the plot as Clouse has decided to sell the Dome and move on with his life. I suspect that there will be a book five and book six so this may become the second trilogy, but that is my own personal speculation at this point. It is hard to "give up" the members of the investment group without expecting to see them return and take up where this book stopped much as was the case in the first three books.
