I was in such a mood for Josh Lanyon and I liked this book, but it didn't quite hit the spot. I really liked the premise, I liked the characters, and I would have loved the book if the mystery would have been just a bit more in the dark. I focused quite a lot on what was happening in Carter's personal life and when I finally got into the uhh, spooky, wonder what'll happen next, everything was revealed. I had already figured out most of it, but I would have liked for the illusion to last longer. Oh, wait a minute, maybe that was Josh Lanyon's intention? Hm, could be.
Anyway, enjoyed the book, not my favourite from this author, but still an entertaining read.
