Boy. This one took forever and a day to finish.

I liked the story and writing fine. The book just didn’t sing for me until the end of the second act, yet it didn’t sag, either. I think it just seemed long to me so I muddled it.

I have to admit that Case does an excellent job at bringing characters to life on the page without overdoing them. Although, one in particular that I liked a lot, the detective named Riordan, just vanished in the third act.

That’s too bad because he really added a lot of grit and nice bit of humor.

While I did enjoy this book, I’d have to think twice about picking up another from Case.
