The plot of Robert Magellan and his missing wife and infant son set up the background mystery to tie the series books together. I'm intrigued enough as to what happened to Beth and Ian to continue the series. I really enjoyed the setup for this mystery and the investigation techniques. Mallory and Charlie are a great team. They think differently so come at the problem from slightly different direction which gives both of them another intelligent viewpoint. The chemistry between them is heating up as well. It will be interesting to see how the relationship develops throughout the series.
