Very gripping story. The author has written several crime series books and I believe that the first book of each series is free. That’s how I purchased (?) this one. Also I read it as part of a reading challenge - Magical Readathon. The plot is very interesting, the writing is crisp, it is a short book. I read it entirely in one sitting and enjoyed it immensely. I will purchase a few more books in the series, for sure.
