Third in the series. Maybe a new reader would be fine starting here because - and this is getting SO annoying - I couldn't remember the plot of the last book or how Nolan's relationship with Remy came about, and it didn't seem to matter much. OTOH, a new reader would likely be completely mystified by Sam Easton and Melody, they don't serve a purpose this time and their only contribution could have been handled another way. None of the people on the "wrong" side of the investigation are in the least sympathetic so you feel nothing as the body count goes up. I thought there was remarkably little media frenzy shown considering the situation. Seems like the detectives as well as those being investigated should have been swarmed every time they set foot in public. There are nice fat clues that allowed me to guess the murderer. I like the relationship between Nolan and Al, I like the procedural aspects as they go about interviews, collaborating with the FBI and talking to the coroner etc. There's some really good bits of dialogue and description too. I would read the next in series.
