If you like crime/thrillers, you know the feeling of following a character into the twilight zone, that place where no one ever really goes.

The character draws you in, and you identify with them and want to see them succeed. Then, out of the blue, they are with the hottest women/man on earth, while destroying evil greater than can be imagined in ways that are beyond belief.

Not in "The Blue Edge of Midnight". In this first series novel what you find is a well developed believable story, with strong characters that face real problems in authentic ways.

It's hard to say which I enjoyed more, the writing or the story because both were excellent.
