This story started strong, and with the multiple points of view and the focus on the cops working this case, it reminded me a bit of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series.
As other reviewers have already pointed out, the ending felt a bit abrupt - personally, I would have liked to learn more about the motive, the specifics of the pattern each of the victims fit. Plus, as has also been pointed out by others, one of the supposedly smartest people we meet in this story does something absolutely stupid - and not even his wife tries to dissuade him from his harebrained scheme?
Overall, I'd rate this story 3.5/5 stars.
That being said, I enjoyed getting to know Peller and his colleagues, and I'd like to read more stories in the series.
