Comments:

I wanted to read this from the time I finished the first book in the series, City of Lies.  During the year I waited, I binged on Victoria Thompson's Gaslight Mystery series.  More recently, I've been on something of a reading slump.  I would read some, and even enjoy what I was reading, but I haven't had the same passion that I had in days gone by.  Yesterday (11/23/2018), I had gone Black Friday shopping and was home alone with the dogs, and I thought, "I should read that book that I've been waiting so long for and finally have checked out."  So I did.  I read straight through it, with only small pauses to nap (I was exhausted), let the dogs out, catch the dogs when they unlatched the gate and escaped the yard, take pictures of the dogs, or break up occasional dog-spats (those dogs are more than a handful). Finally.

The story jumps right in from the start.  Too bad I didn't remember the first book quite as well as I would have liked, but I picked up fairly quickly.  I think I needed the quick pacing of this story...

I wrote the above in November 2018 and never finished or published, so here it is...Since I didn't finish my thoughts, and don't remember what I intended to say now, we'll just say I'm a fan.
