Although I don't think this is strong as David Raker's debut, I still thought it was a very good book.
Spoiler
I did find the scene in the Dead Tracks with all of the sudden action somewhat out of place, but I have read a number of the David Raker books and find that there is an occasional somewhat random action scene. I expect for a large number of readers this is something that would appeal, but I find I skim read these scenes personally.liv_winn's review against another edition

Brilliantly written, kept me on the edge of my seat guessing what was going to happen next and continuously had my coming up with my own theories. Had a small handful of mentions to the past book, but nothing which had me too confused and meant I could read this one without having read the first.
Was very enjoyable to have a crime novel written from an outsiders POV as opposed to someone within the police force, I really enjoyed the conflict.
