Book 2 in the series. I'll probably read the rest. I can appreciate the brevity of the writing. It really moves the story along when all I'm looking for is a mystery and solution. These authors are highly lauded for groundbreaking writing of police-driven mysteries. I'm not quite sure I get it yet, so I'll continue studying. 😉
