This is the 1st book in the Taylor Jackson series. It was on OK mystery with loads of murder & forensic speak. I think there were too many side stories & gaps in the plot. I knew who the murderer was not too far into the story. A little too many characters & a side murder that didn't go with the rest of the story. I will read the next book in the series to see if it gets better. (

I was looking for a new book, new author. Bought it in grocery store. Lots of interconnected sub stories but it didn't get too complicated. Suspenseful and great character development are my two requirements. It was a hit, and I will read more by this author

Good murder mystery. Some good twists. (

It was an okay read. I wasn't impressed as much as I thought I would be as the story sounded great. It seemed to get started off with a bang, but then it just fizzled out for me and I became bored with it. Two stars for effort on this one. (

Lots of red herrings to keep you guessing. Gradual character development. I like that. (
