The first half of this book feels like the first two, uncovering a new case trying to solve it. I would say I enjoyed it up to the halfway point until things get a little out of hand. Granted, the twists you've come to expect from Jackson are still there, even if I guessed a few of them. I'm just not a fan of how it ended! I understand some of the motivations, I'm just not sure it was executed in the best way.
