This one was wild once it got going! I loved The Sanatorium, and had super high hopes for this one. About 75% in is when it really started to pick up for me. The first half was a little slow and there wasn't as much "uncovering" as the first.
I enjoyed that the whole team was able to be there at the beginning and that Elin had a partner in this one. It helped focus on her growth around the death of her brother Sam and as a detective.
The mystery and case itself was awesome. I was invested and constantly trying to put the pieces together. Especially towards the end when all the little e things started to fit together. I can't wait to dive into The Wilds and see what kind of case pops up on her vavcation with Isaac🔍
