When a book breaks through the haze of a head cold and keeps you up to finish it even though you're ill enough to sleep for Britain, it's got to be good!

 I loved this book. Took me a little while to realise it, I couldn't read as much as I liked as fast as I wanted, Longer hours at work coupled with a head cold are not conducive to getting a book read, let me tell you! Quite possibly, not to good reviewing either, but let's give it a shot. I was excited about this book and it didn't disappoint. (I'm ignoring the tiny hint of a love triangle because it wasn't REALLY a love triangle for the main and slight lack of a round up at the end because it was all mostly covered.) 
 I felt everything balanced well, the focus wasn't on the romance, but the mystery and the murders because they were disrupting her life and through them the added layer of the love interest developed. She didn't agonise over whether he liked her, she assumed he didn't and got on with it. Finding herself in love with him seemed rather accidental and something she had planned on ignoring. 
 I was so happy when I came across Teddy. Rarely are characters like him included and fiction is the perfect way to introduce these different people into wider society. 
 This book unapologetically refused to go around defining everyone and putting them into neat little boxes. Good for it. 
 I'd love to see more of these guys. I'd love to see who Nearly becomes when she grows up. And I so hope they stick together, they make each other more rounded. Now I see why this was compared to Bones. Here we have a possible young Brennan and Booth (except without Brennan's amusing and almost autistic stumbling through social situations.)
