Not up to his standard. Really slow in the middle, the shocking revelation was really obvious, and the character development of one of the main characters was just not believable. An interesting mystery though, so an extra star.

A multilayered mystery with twists and turns. The ending leads you to believe there maybe more books in this series with the two main characters. It was good enough for me to read the next one.
