16th in the series but you could start here, Jance gives enough backstory - truthfully, there are little flashbacks for almost everything and everyone - to catch up a new reader. I don't remember her using the POV of someone other than Brady so extensively before, so that's a little different. Readers of the previous books will know who Liza is related to right away, but it won't take long before you see the connection anyway. I really liked that storyline, and the one involving Junior not so much. (Not a spoiler - it's practically spelled out in the book description). I thought Brady was pretty cold considering how long she's known Junior, plus her initial leap of assuming he was an animal torturer, and then the villains...c'mon, how likely was that? Kind of wondering why she chose to write him out of the story that way. But as usual, it's a nice quick read, nice sense of place and believable dialogue.
