Some twists in plot

There were a couple of surprises in the plot but mostly the story was predictable. This was not one of those books that you just can’t put down. I recommend it for a lazy day in front of a fire. Add coffee and some fresh baked cookies and you will have a thoroughly enjoyable day. Although it is not a fast paced novel, you will find it to be a good read.

Riveting

Loved the character progression. Still find Selina annoying. Some of the plot was easy to figure out. Loved how all the plots came together. Just the right amount of creepy coupled with justice. Great surprise at the end. Already looking forward to the next book.

Unexpected plot twists

2nd book in the series, it did not disappoint. Heron and Sanchez are a good match for solving murder mysteries. This one wrapped up what was started in the first and also brought Sanchez’s sister in. She was a nice addition. They solved a serial case, the cold case of her father’s murder and caught the hacker from book 1. Good stuff.

Brilliant

Excellent second installment for this new series. Can’t wait for book number 3 (because the story has to continue).

Multiple characters well coordinated in series

Pace of story and development of multipart series. Looking forward to next installment. Hope it’s soon! Happy reading.
