I really enjoyed this book and it started off very fast paced with lots of character development. However as I got deeper into the book it began to lack the same pace. The ending was disappointing and anti-climactic. I liked the characters and how they reflected on themselves.

When a young boy’s body is found brutally violated with piles of evidence pointing towards an all star and respected member of the community, it’s no wonder the Flint County police dragged him off the baseball field in front of the entire town.  But what happens if you think you’ve got your guy in a slam dunk case… and after it’s too late, you begin to suspect someone or some thing all of a sudden points you innan entirely different direction?

That’s when you bring on Private Investigator of Finder’s Keepers -  Holly Gibney. Mostly coping without her beloved former colleague Bill Hodges, Holly and Ralph Anderson, the arresting officer in the case, set forth on an eerie, hunt for the killer mystery that will leave you feeling like you have maggots crawling down your spine long after you’ve cracked the case.
