Really enjoyable read, but with such a small cast of characters it was kind of easy to guess who the bad guy was going to be. I can’t say I was surprised by any of the “twists” in the final act but it was still a great time.

I liked this opener to the series.  The characters felt real and there were many tense moments.  Would have liked more of an explanation into why the culprit did what they did but I guess that will come from reading more of the series.  I will definitely continue :)
