A Darkness Absolute by Kelley Armstrong

Interesting
I liked this one more than the first book: we have things properly established and I know who is who, what their roles are in the town.
The story starts mid plot, good start already, and takes off from there in a very complex murder mystery. There is a lot of going back and forth in this one, and I don't know if it's normal to do that in mystery/thriller books so the audience can properly keep up or if it's just Armstrong wanting to establish what's going on at all times.
There was a lot of fluff in this one as well, to balance out the murder I believe, and a good reference to one of her other books towards the end which I thought was clever.
