[Michael Morrison · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good, complex story with a fair-sized cast of characters, none overly fleshed-out, but several likeable and worth knowing more about.
Author Holmes is rather prolific and it's embarrassing that I wasn't more familiar with him and his work. But I'll correct that oversight and will search for more of his titles.
This is a light read, but I can recommend it as such.

2.75. It’s fine. The plot makes a lot of leaps, but it’s also satisfying.
