First I have read of this author. Enjoyed the overall story arc with the characters, and felt that they have (probably) been well established in other novels. Found it hard to read at times as it sometimes was unnecessarily descriptive of particular things. Found the pace of the book to be rather slow at points with plot developing mainly through the characters. Overall I probably would have enjoyed this more if I had read some of the earlier books, where the characters were the main focus and we knew more of there backgrounds to understand why they act and react the way they do. If I read more I may come back and review my rating and comments. :)

Mysteries (of various formats and style) are becoming quite a guilty pleasure of mine, perhaps, in part, due to the reasons many people like them: mental exercise, twists, analysis, etc.
I wasn't familiar with this series, so it took me a little longer to get into it than may have been expected, otherwise. I admit that it felt a little dry or obvious at the start, but, with time, that changed.
I was gripped for the last 2/3 of the book, and went through it quickly. It turned pretty dark at times, sometimes startlingly so, but that's the nature of the story.
Recommended for those who like mysteries, but aren't put off by Law & Order: SVU.
