The Suspect - first in this series, I remember kept me turning the pages late into a jet lagged night - so too have all the other Alberg Mysteries, but none quite as compelling as the first - although each different enough from one another that you can feel the author trying things out, exploring the genre, pushing the envelope this way and that - then comes this one, which is just as readable as the first, yet still a completely different sort of book. It ranges wide and has a big cast of characters and subplots compared to some of the others - if this series ever comes to the screen this installment should be a two hour or cliff-hanger two episode special because of how it grabs you and just keeps moving through a variety of by now familiar local settings with special nods to a few favorite repeat characters.
