I picked up this book because it is the first in a popular series at my library and wanted to see what it is that people are interested in. It is a thoughtful book, and the mystery is well laid out. But it did not strike a chord with me.  When it comes to mysteries, I usually go for juicier, high emotion stories that get my adrenaline running and that isn't the vibe here.  It was not a fun book for me, but that doesn't make it a bad book.
