After a couple of blips in the earlier volumes, this series continues on a straight road. I'm now up to #9--no more for now--and they've always been good; always different; always with a little something extra to make your brain work. The ongoing saga of Hadley and Kevin goes on (should I say that?). Claire is struggling mightily with motherhood. And an unexpected figure from the past throws a monkey-wrench in the whole works.
But none of that is anything to do with the mystery. It involves a mysterious corpse of a young woman with no apparent cause of death. Which exactly replicates an unsolved case from the 1970s, when Russ was newly back from Vietnam and at loose ends trying to figure out what to do with his life. And another one from the 1950s. Huh?
I maybe didn't find it as thrilling as some of the others, but it was so very impossible to put down that I rushed through the audiobook at every opportunity. Mindfulness may be great when you're washing dishes or folding laundry, but an audiobook is better.
