The book takes place post-pandemic and it’s used primarily as an explanation for people’s reactions to the bacterium mentioned in the book description.
To be honest, the bacterium in question and the resounding ‘panic’…isn’t very interesting.
What is interesting is our crime. I wanted to know about our victims – why they were killed and who they were – and thoroughly enjoyed Tempe’s investigation. This book brings us a new character who is interesting, but who doesn’t get any real character development until close to the end of the book.
The pace of the book is fair. I never lost interest, but it wasn’t a book that I simply couldn’t put down.
Enjoyed the book, didn’t love it, but it won’t sway me away from the series. Will definitely read the next one.
