Once again, a book from a series called "An Emma Djan Investigation" has Emma present in only half the book. I'm really not a fan of how much time these books spend giving us the mystery from the POV of the involved rather than the investigation. It's really dissatisfying. But I will note that the writing does improve with each book.
