For me, this was a very predictable book. I felt as if I was watching a tv drama show and you watch it because you have started watching but mid-way through, you feel you have figured it all out. There really was no real surprise as to who the bad guys were in the end. As for the main character; I ... hmmm....without including a spoiler, I just don't know that I would have been doing all of the running around, looking for people and such had the same tragic event happened in my life. If you want an easy read, go for it. If you want real drama, there are plenty more on the shelf to choose from.
