Alexa asked this question about The Secret Place:
This book has a pretty different structure than the rest of the series, incorporating actual flashbacks rather than having the whole thing come from the lead detective's point of view. What did you think of the different perspective? Why do you think French changed things up for this book?

Suddenly I would realize we were in the past, but when exactly? Especially toward the end the flashbacks should have been a bit more clearly marked.(less)
