However, this is otherwise a somewhat frustrating reading experience, with an obvious killer due to a quickly-pruned suspect list and the engaging character drama of Ripples traded for a petty dispute between Harte's subordinates. Still, it's hard to be negative about a book this short...

This one's a bit augughhhh. I did like the introduction of Blake's parents which leant some development to the relationship, but the solution doesn't make a whole lot of sense. That aside, it's pretty easy to see where the mystery is going but still takes a while to get there. The ending is pretty exciting, at least.
