The Chessmen by Peter May
4.0
This wasn't my favorite book in the series, but it did have the usual mix of good writing, interesting characters and enough of a mystery to keep me interested.
I like Fin and in this book we learn a lot more about his past, which I think helped flesh out his character. But I'm still not sure I always understood his motivations or some of his decisions. Perhaps if the books were written in a first-person narration that would explain more.
I liked the overall mystery but I almost bumped this down to 3 stars because the ending felt rushed. Several big revelations got crammed into the end and I didn't feel like they were resolved in a satisfying way.
But I'll definitely look into more books by this author in the future.
