5.0

This was an outstanding book. Books like this with a police main character trying to solve a crime, can be so hit or miss. And sometimes they start to feel samey. But this was absolutely excellent. Aaron Falk was a great MC, with a history and personality that tied really well into the setting and plot. I enjoyed the setting and atmosphere, and all the characters we met along the way. Had my suspicions about how things had happened, some were right, some weren’t. Just as I like it. Most importantly it was very well written and paced. I flew through it in a couple of days and will definitely read more of Harper’s works!

A super quick read and a solid thriller (this would’ve been great to take camping or something)
