There are some series that I can pick up and read at any point and the story works. This wasn’t one of them.

When I started reading, the story seemed like it picked up where series installment #39 left off. No backstory, no character development. Just BAM!  Someone’s dead. I usually like stories that start with a bang but this one was too enigmatic for me. 

I’ll probably start this series from the beginning at some point, but I’m in no rush.
