I too just finished the book. Took me longer than usual as I was trying to note things I never really note, such as style, descriptions etc.
Great use of language IMO, characters you could identify with for the most part, although quite a hodgepodge of character types.
Not really a spoiler story wise but might affect your reading of book.
Spoiler:
It's almost as if she had a list
the typical reluctant police contact who is partners with a prehistoric dinosaur, the quiet but useful Watson type, the befuddled witnesses, and countless more
I was a bit disappointed in the ending. Too many things concluded at once with little lead in to some of them. I am sure that all the clues were carefully placed Agatha Christie style, and it was logical but just a bit too much all in one great chunk. I had a feeling of WTF I know you want to finish writing the book today, but maybe a nap would have helped.

A very good book if it was by a first author, and I've certainly read a lot I have enjoyed less.
