This book was a pleasant surprise. I judged it by the cover and expected a eye-roller. I did like the two main characters; they felt more human than other detectives in novels I have read. More vulnerable and able to work out their shit. There was a large cast, some better written than others. It can be confusing keeping track of everyone at first.
Generally, the heavy topics in the twists are taken with care. There's discussion instead of horrid things being shock value. The book does drag out the ending to give you twist after twist.
It seems like this will be a series. I'm not completely opposed to reading the next book. It's a maybe for me.
