Not the strongest entry in the series but not the worst. The central mystery is great; lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing to the very end. There was a bit too much reliance on hunches and even Kenzie's reason for investigating felt a bit thin. There were great character moments throughout that hit harder for having read the previous books.
Still a cut above other authors in terms of writing, pacing, and craft.
