I'm struggling to review this adequately, as typically I don't really enjoy detective/police procedural books. However, I read this for a book club.
I found the main character of Jack annoying. Jack was a bit of a cliche, good looking, women always falling for him. I found him terribly shallow. He's apparently experiencing grief and then 2 seconds later is noticing another attractive woman.
There is also the character of Kate who is in love with Jack and annoyingly pines after him almost the whole time.
In saying all this though, the book is readable and there was an element of enjoyment to it. I just wouldn't be enthusiastic about continuing with the series if there were further books released. Again, this may be due to my reading preferences and there may be others into the genre that enjoy more than I did.
