This second book was the first episode of the TV series, but there were many digressions, and the characters that seemed so perfectly cast in the first book were also quite different in this second one. I can appreciate both for their similarities and variances. It’s like two for one in the entertainment value - like so many what if tropes. I think I’ll stop comparing the two with the third book and simply enjoy the book for what it is.

Started reading hardcover from the library, finished on Kindle while traveling (it's very chunky to carry around)

Not enjoying Will Trent as much as I enjoyed Grant County. Hoping the series picks up in the next book or I might DNF the series
