Loved it all. More gripping that the last book. More case focused than character focused but had some good moments between Dallas and Peabody and Dallas and Roarke. The whole Oscar thing was just as amusing as I expected. This case had me teary-eyed a lot. And I loved how to solve it it mostly came down to a lot of every day police work. Sifting, probabilities and hundreds of interviews. Its not all glamorous, hunches or egotistic bad guys dropping obvious clues. Sometimes its tedious grunt work.
