A quick and easy read and hard to put down. The writing is a bit choppy or unpolished in spots and there were a few spots I just didn't follow the relation of clue to event, plus some unanswered questions (like why her service dog didn't accompany her to her teaching duties), but it's still a good read. I really enjoyed the scenes set at the deaf school and that the MC, Marianna, is almost completely deaf. Ethan was a great hero and the side characters were interesting. I'll definitely be reading more in this series about the Santino siblings.
