In The Company of Liars, by David Ellis

This book is written in reverse chronological order. Sounds kind of gimmicky, but it sucked me in really quick. Partly, the story is good, but partly, I was just fascinated to see if he could pull it off. How do you allow the reader revelations as your characters know less and less?

Make the entire story a cover-up, is how, so the reader uncovers as the characters cover. It was a really engaging book, though I have to admit I never cared too much about any of the characters. They were more like devices than people.
