This procedural was kind of lukewarm for me. The case is interesting enough, but the story lacks that wow factor to push it over into something that stands out. It's a fairly quick and easy read, but it just doesn't have that have to know what happens next feel to it. I also struggled with the time period for this one. It's supposed to be modern day, but had a feel of something much older. Antiquated ideas about women aside, I found it hard to believe that any officer, seasoned or otherwise, would be so thoroughly ignorant of technology. In the end, there were things I liked and other things that I didn't, leaving me somewhere in the middle. On a positive note, this is a good one for the squeamish as we're told about the murders without the in your face gore.
