This was a fast-paced and tightly woven story! The plot moved at a relentless pace and had me guessing at every turn. The story did an excellent job of slowly unfolding the larger picture and was careful to never tip its hand. It's one of the stories that makes you want to reread it after you finish, just so you can see it again in the new light of knowing the end. Madoc was an interesting, and very well-developed character. His very personal ties to the case and the way his history is slowly revealed was compelling. The ending was also NOT what I expected it to be, and honestly made this entire story elevate itself to a 5-star story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
