Josh Lanyon books are becoming a favorite for me. This is my 10th so far, and as always, I have to force myself to put it down in order to go about my daily life. I am an adult after all.
I won't go in depth about what exactly worked here and what didn't, partly because I don't have the time right now, and also because there really isn't much that I didn't like about it. I liked Jason and Sam from the start. Having read a few of this author's mystery series before, I was worried about the same characterization from previous novels going in, but was pleasantly surprised to find that I could easily distinguish them. The framework might have been the same, but Jason was definitely different from Elliot, who was also different from Adrien. Same with Sam compared to Tucker and Jake.
The mystery was great, even though I'd figured it out by the end. I look forward to reading more. I'm extremely interested to see where Jason and Sam's relationship goes.
