I did not know that this was part of a series when I requested (nobody to blame but myself!) however this did not affect my reading of The Guilty Dead at all.

Coming into series so far in did can have a few issues, and as the characters are already so well developed, I did miss a lot of the nuances of their relationships. However, there is enough about them for me to muddle my way through and figure out who was what and to whom.

This story starts out with a murder, and from that minute on we are taken on a non-stop ride of murder, mystery and suspense.

I did have a gut feeling who our bad buy was, but I was never 100% until the author wanted me to know the whos and whys.

I enjoyed the relationship between the 2 lead detectives, the way they read each other, bounced off each other to find the killer.

I liked the way this book tapped into the worries, the fears of our current world, and made it feel like this could be happening in any of our cities or towns.

I really did enjoy this book from this new to me author. I am interested in going back and reading the earlier books in this series, and look forward to more in the future.
