Appreciated the lack of foul language.

It was a good story with clean language. I plan to read more in this series.

Dark crimes, very good performance, no profanity!

This book has complex, deep characters and a sinister plot with dark crimes. It is so well written. In general I don't listen to books with dark themes, but the focus of this book isn't on the darkness. It is focused on people working through heavy issues and resolving the crimes. The performance is very good. The book is a little longer than I prefer, but I definitely will be reading/listening to more in this series. And it is so nice to listen to a clean book.

Kept my interest

A little complex so I was lost sometimes. But liked the premise and main characters

Strong female lead

A little long, but kept you guessing. Going to listen to the next book in this series.

Intrigue

I disliked the narrator as the male voice. I loved the storyline and the twists and turns in the book. The characters were very believable and interesting. I didn’t like that so many people died, though. Maybe a few could have lived.
