Review:
I had no idea what to expect on this book. I love crime and mystery books especially as a series, so I was very curious to see how this series would turn out. Well I was not disappointed. I loved it.
Gary's character was great. I loved the rebel cop who had a hard time following orders. I also enjoyed the other characters and I'm very curious to see how they develop in future installments.
I loved the mystery of this book. I really liked that it didn't dive into the main characters for a few chapters. It was a nice change to have the book start out a complete mystery. It took me a bit to put the pieces together on the mystery. It rarely happens as I read to find a book unpredictable. This book did that for me to a point. I just couldn't seem to figure out who the culprit was. I just couldn't put the book down. Easily read in one sitting... (Sleep? No I needed answers).
Overall I really enjoyed the book and I think I may have found that series I have book looking for to occupy my time for a bit.
