Throughout the series, I've enjoyed reading three books so far. However, out of all those books, this one was not my favourite. Although this book has some high points, it didn't meet my expectations in terms of its plot and character development.
One of the positive aspects of this book was that it shed light on Halloran's background and his emotions. The author succeeded in portraying the character as more than just a detective. However, the plot didn't keep me as hooked as the previous two books. It was less compelling and more predictable.
I found it hard to believe that the police would allow a civilian and another detective to investigate their case, which made the plot seem less believable to me. Also, I missed the presence of other characters like Grace and Evie, who were prominent in the first two books.
Despite my criticisms, I still enjoyed reading this book. It was an easy read, and I found myself breezing through it. However, I believe that this book is best read as part of the series rather than as a stand-alone novel. Nonetheless, I look forward to reading the fourth book in the series.
