The Peacekeeper by B.L. Blanchard
emotional
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
3.5
I love the idea of this world, especially the justice system. The execution was a bit clumsy in spots (with info dumps that I found jarring as they essentially explained to the reader how this alternate world is different from ours).
The plot was decent. I guessed the murderer from the beginning, but was surprised by the motive. The author was also skilled enough at presenting information that I was occupied for most of the book trying to guess the truth about a clue that turned out not to pertain to the murder after all.
I can't pretend that the book left me with a good feeling by the end, but I'm not sorry I read it.
