This was a fun intro to this series.

I loved the snark between Wrexford and Tyler and Kit every once in a while. Henning too. Wrexford definitely tried to play at the "aloof man who has no friends" but really he had a couple. I liked how he looked at things and investigated the situation. Even though he tried to hide it, I also liked how he took to Raven and Hawk; something tells me those two are going to get involved in future investigations no matter what Charlotte tries to say.

Speaking of Charlotte, she was interesting as well. There are a few things where it feels like the author is trying to setup a big reveal but I'll admit I don't get the feeling it's going to be as bad as the author thinks they're going for. I liked the different approaches Charlotte and Wrexford had to investigating and how well they played off each other.
