A good mystery story with engaging characters, a detailed plot, and just enough twists and curves to keep it interesting without being confusing. The author's descriptions of people and places really bring the story to life and drop the reader into the middle of the action. I have not read the first book in this series but that did not matter - I was able to follow the story without any trouble.
Spoilers - This is a mystery story with all the aggression, sex, and blood that is expected from the genre. Nothing over the top, but recommended for adults.
