This book was actually quite brilliant. I loved the plot and how it all panned out in the end didn't go for this big cresendo but a more realistic conclusion. Books don't normally do this and this was a refreshing change.
I really like Warren. He arrives in the small town to become a detective after a great loss and is thrown right into the thick of it. You can see he wants to do a great job but also has a soft spot for the people he meets doing it.
Its a historical mystery with a moderate pace and some really wonderful dialogue. I am so glad this is a start of a series and cannot wait for book 2!
I listened to the audio and while the narrator wasn't brilliant, they did a good enough job to jkeep you going.
