This was a pretty good mystery that I mostly enjoyed. One thing I really liked was the way the tale would jump to the point of view of the murder victims just before they were murdered. The reader doesn't know these victims' identities until after the bodies are found. We just follow their final moments as the killer approaches. This made for some creepy scenes that added to the suspense. I did guess the killer's identity even though there are a few red herrings. I felt there were times the protagonist was somewhat repetitious and didn't quite come off as the experienced detective that he was supposed to be. However I do think this series has some potential so I will likely give the 2nd book a try.
