It's ok and a very dark thriller. There are so many questionable choices. Morgan is the worst, and her love interests are horrendous. I don't want to spoil it, but a big turnoff was borderline incest. (Not main/end paring) Also, there are huge age gaps. The pacing between the police investigations and Morgan's Pov is awful. I spent most of the book wishing they would get on with it.
The plot is unexpectedly good. The red herrings and twists are not predictable. The mystery of the key and then the blackmail is compelling. I like the fact that Morgan is a freelance photographer.
Detective Ryan was the boring new officer, big story cliche copaganda. So, I didn't like the characters.
