What I loved most about this story is the great chemistry between Rowan and Jude. For some reason, they reminded me of the duo from Josh Lanyon's Holmes & Moriarity series. I also loved the unpredictability of the first half of the book especially when the author tried to pin the case against several suspects - I thought that was really good. Halfway though, I was easily clued in on whom the culprit is in the case. When I read that part, I thought that was a total giveaway. Won't spoil it for you but it was really very easy to guess. The suspect's motives though were a bit surprising if I may just say. 
 Pacing is always an important part of storytelling. It's almost always dependent on the mood of the story. In this case, I find it a too fast for the mood. Although some may disagree, I thought the "way too quick" pacing led the story development to suffer a bit. This could be a good thing though for the series as it opens a lot of doors for improvements and unpredictable plot points for future books. 
 With all these, I'd say that it was pretty solid overall. I'd definitely wait for the second book to come out. 
 Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
