Likeable characters, good pacing, good sense of place. It has a different feel than the Monkeewrench series; not as funny although we still have a big cast. There's two plots running in parallel here and since I read a lot of mysteries I kept waiting for them to converge. I can't write more without spoilers but I can say that it didn't go quite the way I expected, and because of that I didn't find it convincing. The villain was way too obvious, I have to think that the author intended that because every scene with the villain included a massive clue. The author indicates this is going to be the start of a new series, and the title in Goodreads says "Detective Margaret Nolan #1, but we see a lot more from Sam's POV than we do from Nolan's. I did like the book overall and I think it would be interesting to see Easton return as well as Nolan.
