This a multi layered story, a story within a story. The illustrations did not dissappoint. The reader is swept into a mystery with many unanswered questions. There is no happy ending but more questions brimming on the surface. The story starts simply enough, a writer who is asked to solve a mystery but along the way he loses himself into the mystery. There are questions on ethics and philosophy of life strewn throughout. Heady stuff.
