This book is entertaining from beginning to end. I admire the independence and proactivity of the main character.

In this book, Catrin is a construction inspector for a grand cathedral. When she stumbles into finding a woman killed by a new serial killer, she get involved with the investigation (and the people conducting it).

This, as advertised, is a murder mystery. About half way through the book, I thought that I had figured it out. To my delight, I was wrong! This book has many fun twists and red herrings, and the end is satisfying and makes sense. It's suspenseful without being overly dark or stressful.

There are a few different plots going on here. We've got the serial killer investigation, the romance, our main character searching for her heritage and discovering new powers. I feel like only the investigation got the emotional weight that it needed. For example, we can look at the relationship between our heroine and her childhood friend, Remi. Though we're told that they are best friends, I never really felt that connection. Most of their interactions in this book is squabbling with each other with little emotional depth.

Thanks to Macmillan Children's Publishing Group and NetGalley for a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own.
