Thank you to the author, publisher, narrator and Net Galley for providing a free e-audio version of this title in exchange for my review.

When I requested this title, I didn't realize it was book 2 in the series, but I had hopes that the author would do a good job of reminding the readers of details from book 1 so I could catch up. I have read a few series that worked fairly well as stand alone books. This is not one, not in my experience. I was very confused all through the book with the characters and details that were most likely covered in book 1, so I felt very confused through the whole book.

Also, as this is an audiobook, I could not check dialogs or follow actual conversation rather than just thoughts between characters. The actual dialog seemed a bit sloppy or choppy and did not flow. I would think this was a character's thought, then realize it was the actual spoken portion of the conversation. It was very confusing all through.

Overall, I really didn't enjoy the book and had a hard time following the details of the case. It might make more sense if you have read book 1 or reading the print, I'm not sure. For me, this was a 2 star "it was ok" book, to be kind. The narrator did a fairly good job with the narration and pronunciation.
