So this was a good book, but not a great one. The story didn't seem quite as exciting as previous ones in the series. I did think that the killer's way of disposing of bodies was unique, not something I had heard of before. But I never felt a real sense of menace. The story just ambled along, with lots of doggy information mixed in.
