Excellent. Understated, incisive, and moving. Glad I read it!

This one felt like it had too many irons in the fire for me, and the house back story dragged down the narrative a bit. Still good, though, and I’m looking forward to the next book.

Seriously creepy. I kinda hope that's the last time Jack deals with a theoretically supernatural bad guy.

So much to take in! Tough and larger societal issues along with the murder investigation. Well done.

Great accidental find for me. I knew the setting and subject matter would be up my alley, but the pacing, complicated possibilities, and good writing took it to the next level.
