I was really interested in the storyline throughout, and it was well-written. I was curious as to how things would end and unfortunately, the plot ended quite abruptly. It was a bit disappointing. Also, the pacing was kind of slow like it took a long time (3/4 of the book) for Parker to find out who the dead woman is and who was killing all the people that were in contact with her. The ending is in between 'satisfying' and 'unsatisfying' because there weren't any consequences placed on Quayle and Mors, not that the audience knows of cause their life after the incident was hinted at in the last chapter. Also, Connolly introduced a lot of characters and there are times when I have no clue who they are, but I've accepted that and just kept reading.
This is the first book I've read from the Charlie Parker Thriller series, and though the ending was quite disappointing, I would read another book from this series again. And I hope that the ending won't be as abrupt as this book.
