This is, I believe, the 14th mystery I've read by Ms Reichs. Either she is getting a little too set in her ways, or I'm just getting tired of her ways, because I'm finding myself increasingly dissatisfied with her books. They are too coy, too smug, too "clever." Every chapter ends with a coy cliffhanger. Enough! Other than that, the book was enjoyable - I liked the new character, former detective Gallimore.

A solid 3.5 stars. I really like this series. As always, a good mystery and excellent forensics. I really like "Skinny" Slidell and was glad to see him again. It will be interesting to see what happens with Cotton Galimore in the next book.

I like this series and I like NASCAR but this book was not up to par. I never felt engaged with any of the characters, including Tempe, who I usually like and the plot was just so-so.
