Let’s tackle the first thing.  This book is almost completely free of profanity (the minor instances don’t really bother me), and sex is only talked about.  Morality is high, and justice is served.  This is the first book in the series, and the ending left me practically breathless.  I realized that I was going to be left hanging about ten pages before I finished the book, but it is not one of those endings that upset me.  There is resolution, but there is a promise for more.  All I can say is that Ms. Comby needs to get the next book out as soon as possible!

I love mysteries, and this book was everything I could have wanted from that standpoint.  It also dealt with an important issue.  But all these things do no automatically equal a 5-star rating.  Neve and Egan are amazing detectives, and you never would have paired them up as amateur detectives.  But they make it work, and it is one wild ride.  I experienced it all:  anger, humor, suspense, and practically nonstop action!  This book is not for the faint of heart.

When I began the book, I liked it, but I almost viewed it as a chore.  I truly enjoyed the story, but I just didn’t lose myself into it until a little bit later.  In fact, as I approached the last third of the book, I was so mesmerized that I lost track of where I was and what time it was!  I had to know what the outcome would be.

My heart was touched as evidence and stories emerged.  I found myself pondering this horrible crime against humanity, and I discussed it in detail with my mother. There is nothing like an outstanding, engaging story with a message, and I can assure you this book delivers just that.  It is a fast read, and you will probably view your world differently once you finish it.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
