Suspenseful mystery

This was a very good and well written story. I listened to the audible version, and it was done very well. The characters are well described. I usually like to guess who the murderer is in the first or second chapters. I have to say I missed it on this one. Who the bad guy was. It was enjoyable, looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

I was doubtful due to reviews, BUT

This story was absolutely gripping. The narrator(s) were a little weird and hard to get used to at first, but the story itself got so good I stopped paying attention. I found myself having a hard time getting out of my car and back to reality a few times.

really great flow

a really good story that didn't drag out and it all came together in the end.

liked it

This book was not what I expected. I have been reading LAW'S crime fiction stuff and this one is more like...romance with a veneer of crime fiction...up until around the 75% mark when it hits the ground running. That said, I still really enjoyed it (though I do wish LAW didn't write every character like a walking dictionary..."inexorably" was super prevalent, as was "poignant" & even pugnacious made an appearance).

Good

Only issue with this book was the female narrator, she was a little whiny. But don't let that stop you from reading it!
