I always pre order this series and also read another series from the author. They are well written with good characters and once start I can't finish because I want to know the guilty party. It is always a surprise which makes for a great read. My only negative with this book was there were typos, misplaced wording or in one case 'a red Mercedes' became a few pages later a 'a red BMW'. Don't think I have ever seen this type of mistakes in any of the books before. So not sure who the proofreader or editor is but they missed a few mistakes. However, I still recommend this series-it has never disappointed me the story.
