This is my second reading of this book and it was my introduction to Tess Gerristsen's books.

This series has really started to take a turn for the very implausible, and I'm really hoping it comes back from this. Obviously, I'm suspending my disbelief when I read these books, but this one was a bit much with the satanism plotline and people jaunting around the world. I just don't think that's really a thing. Anyway, even when the plots are questionable, the characters are generally good, though I felt like Jane and her family had so many random side plots that didn't really seem to matter. I'm curious to see what the rest of the series is like.
