This book was on my shelf for awhile and I finally got around to reading it due to several recommendations from trusted fellow readers about how good this series is. I can see why. The mystery was well done and I thought I knew the murderer but I didn't. I also loved the atmosphere of the marshland. I mostly liked the protagonist but I haven't quite warmed up to her completely. However, there were things I did not like so I can't say I would recommend. My issues with the book are mostly the suffering of animals and children. Both are really hard to take for me and if this is a standard thing in this series I won't be continuing. Even though it ended with some positive resolution it left me bereft.
