Sometimes you just want to put on your comfiest tee-shirt and well-worn flannel pants, curl up on the couch with a really good book and immerse yourself in the story.

This was really enjoyable story. The main case was rather simple, interesting and at the end it was solved. All other mysteries around Brett family stayed more or less unsettled, which was cool with me. At start I didn't know who was the main character, Brett or Neil, around whom the story would be centered around, but then true the story it get clear, they both are. From general point of view the book was enjoyable and well written.

I'm not sure what to think of this book. Maybe I came into it with the wrong expectations or ideas about how the characters would interact, but this just didn't really click for me. Unfortunately. But Josh Lanyon's still on my favorite authors list- and I'm still looking at Out of the Blue.
