pjonsson's review
3.0
This was a decent read. It was certainly much better than the previous book in this series.
As usual Rivka got a new case to solve which leads to the usual investigations, revelations outbursts of violence and ass-kicking. All accompanied with a healthy dose of bantering between her and her ragtag team of investigators and enforcers.
One thing I like with these books is that, so far, every book has been a new case with a beginning, middle and a end. Yes there is an overall story arc (of course) and some threads running through the series but there are, usually, no huge cliffhangers and loose ends at the end of the books. The case at hand gets a conclusion.
I, obviously, also like Rivka and her band of misfits. They constitute the core of these books and their banter, their individual characters and how, especially Rivka, show bureaucrats and such like useless individuals that think they can stand in their way, the errors of their ways is what makes these books worth reading.
