Couldn't put this book down! Jsut finished reading it 5 minutes ago and already have the next book in my lap ready to go. The characters just keep getting better and I'm getting more and more attached to them all. The cases continue to keep my guessing and even if I think I have an idea of what's going to happen, I may only be the slightest bit correct, but never fully, and always more intriguing than I can imagine.
