This is the second one I have read, and both featured art. I wonder if that is true of all. If so, I will enjoy it.

This one was well paced and had the right amount of twists, false leads, and turns; however, I am not convinced the ending was inevitable or the best possible. One structural thing I found a little disconcerting was the extremely short segments before switching points of view.

One thing I have liked about the two I have read was that character development is as important as solving the mystery.

I will be reading more of the series. Back references are explained enough for those of us reading out of order, but I'd guess it would be more fun if you knew the back story. it will be a different kind of reading fun to read them, knowing what story follows.

I am reading the series in order; yes, it is more fun reading this one and knowing the various back stories. I found the short segments less distracting than on first read, maybe because I knew the outcome so was less interested in knowing what happened and what was going to happen. I also found the ending more believable, maybe because I caught more of the details along the way.
