I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot of depth in terms of the history and the characters and cold cases as well as the contemporary crime. It was well plotted and written and very satisfying. But it's the first book in a series and there's nowhere to go with this story. The story has been told so I don't understand how this can be the launchpad for a series and where the characters will go forward. I loved the book but I think it's a stand alone.
