The nostalgic feeling at the end was almost unbearable. I had to keep reminding myself that this is only a novel and these characters aren't real.

While I liked this quite a bit, I feel it can be summed up with the description, "Smart police officers do dumb and improbable things."

Interesting story and I enjoyed the characters, but it seemed super far fetched. Well written and entertaining. I kept reading just to see how it turned out. Finished in one day as I hurt my back, again.

Surprisingly one of my favorite books this year. Was recommended this and it did not disappoint- the premise was so original and the suspense kept me reading. The writing and character development was amazing. Admittedly around 3/4 of the way through I did start to get a little bored - it maybe could have been shorter. Also not a very diverse bunch.
