I enjoyed this book. It was a fast read and I liked the main characters.

2nd book in this series and the crime scenes have been gory. Too much for me, but the rest of the book is fine and reads like a regular detective crime book. I like series because it's nice to have a character and background that is familiar. Even though this book directly followed characters and events of the first book "A King of Infinite Space", it started more like a standalone but it did jog my memory. Undecided whether I'll continue due to the lack of enthusiasm towards series.

There were really two different storylines going on in this book; one I loved and the other one I did not. The main storyline, the crime, was really good and well written - definitely a solid 4.5star rating for me and since GR doesn't do .5stars, I would have given it a 5star rating.
The second, underlying story, Beckett's painful physical recovery (from the injuries incurred in the last book) was overdone and got old, so much so that at around the 70% mark, I started skimming those passages of the story. On just that storyline alone, I would have rated the book 3stars but because I really enjoyed the other storyline, I settled on 4stars.
I still like the series and will definitely continue with it because I like the characters and Dilts is a good writer.
