I liked this book, and I kept wondering exactly why I did. I guessed who was the killer from the beginning, although there certainly were various worthy red-herrings and my sticking to my suspect has more to do with a gut instinct than with anything else.

I didn't really like Ben, although I pitied him but, as the story advanced and I got to know more of his background, I at least understood him. I still find abhorrent his last night with Jin. Nor booze not Jin's games justify what he did.

But I enjoyed the story. I liked to see the investigation done from a journalist's POV, and I like stories with characters that are complex and not totally black or white. I like characters that struggle to be better, and Ben seems to be heading to be one of them.

So I'll be reading more of this series, now that I finally managed to sit and read this one *laughs*
