I know I read this a couple years ago not sure exactly when but I did enjoy it. It's a good thriller but with a slow pace.

Really wasn't all that impressed with this thriller. Picked it up because it used Roosevelt Island in NYC as a major part of the setting, and I remember exploring the island as a teen. The story didn't really hold my interest all that well, and I didn't care much for any of the characters, I was much more interested in the NYC trivia.

Picked this one up in a street swap library. Standard crime thriller. Well-constructed but not a stand out.

A little longer than needed - so much detail.
I enjoy this series - I love Alex though sometimes super annoying.
Great read. Twists and suspense great.

Overall Thoughts: The Deadhouse had a strong start but the last half lost part of it's steam. Still I had to know what happened!

The series is getting better and better for me. For a mystery series, the 'crime' is important, and the writing (realistic and enjoyable), then there are the characters (are they believable are they likable), and with these, I'm really loving that there is an extra storyline each book - about NYC history or American history, and something different (ballet? library? museum?).
Really liking it.
