I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review

I had not read previous John Verdon books and regret opening in the middle of a series. I wish I had started at the beginning but I did enjoy what I read. I enjoyed the author's writing style and how melodic it flowed through the pages. It did lag at times, but it was a thrilling mystery with twists and turns I wasn't expecting. I would have probably enjoyed it more if I was more familiar with the characters.
