I really enjoyed this book. However, there was such a long buildup over 80% of the book to an ending that came out of nowhere and honestly didn’t make sense. That left a tiny portion of the book to cover the breaking point and the fall out. Two pages to cover the aftermath of an epic cold case file didn’t really satisfy me. Maybe she’s working on making a series of these books - the character buildup is insane. I felt like I really got to know them.
