Ms. Hamilton is a good author, although not quite the caliber of some others that I read often.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. I figured out the murderer before Anita did, and I'm not sure if that's the intent of the author or not. As a writer, I have made an effort to increase the number of authors I read. It was good to read a novel written in the first person because I haven't read many of those. I am definitely interested in continuing to read the series. I found a lot of Anita's behavior interesting given some of the things I have heard from other reader's of LKH Anita Blake's series about behavior later in the series.
