What a start to a series. Not only do we have a fascinating investigation, there’s 100 pages of backstory that introduces Maisie and all of the relent characters. I didn’t expect to cry my eyes out over the personal part of the story. I’m so dehydrated that I need a glass of water!
The fast pace of the book had my flying through it - I finished in less than a day and am eager to gobble up the next installment.
