I always enjoy this author duo, and I was very sucked into this story. It felt weird that it was set in an area where I've spent so much time! Will read more by this pair.

I enjoyed the structure of the book, it made it fairly fast-paced. I have to say the ending to the main “mystery” was a shock to me, something I wouldn’t have guessed on my own. I feel the resolution to Avery’s dilemma was quickly written just to be wrapped up. It didn’t feel substantial enough for us to have read about it throughout the book.  It could’ve just been eliminated from the plot altogether as it didn’t add anything.
