This was a pretty good book for the author’s first book. I really enjoyed all the references to colors. The characters were very well thought out.

I set out looking for something with a tropical setting to combat the frigid air where I live. This artsy-sounding tale, set on Curacao, leapt into my hands from the library's New Books shelf. It's Patterson's first novel, and it has a lot of promise and an interesting plot but a host of unbelievable characters. There's not enough backstory and several odd and unexplained vignettes, especially with the nasty boy character. I wanted to like it more than I did.
