Not realizing this is a series was part of the reason I struggled with this book. The ending wasn’t wrapped up enough for me, and the book didn’t make me want to go and find the next one. (So I googled the plot of the next book to find out what happens).

I didn't pick the murderer at all. And even at the end I didn't get it. Totally blindsided me. I loved the story of this one. My favorite detective in a long time!
