His father had his own secrets, and while understanding his motives makes him understandable as a character, I couldn't approve of everything he did. A wonderful mystery, with perhaps one too many remarkable escapes, but interesting through the final chapter. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. I feel compelled to warn the faint-hearted, though, that the villain of the book seems to be a character straight out of Criminal Minds; a rather nasty sort who rapes and kills women — not necessarily in that order.

I really enjoy this series. If you've only read the first one and didn't like the father's actions, just you wait!
It's not a cozy mystery series and the author isn't afraid to kill off characters (not gonna say more, don't want to spoiler it).
It's always interesting to me to read on this thread. I was frustrated with Davina Porter's narration for these books. I just didn't think her voice fit the characters. But I got used to her and I was willing to listen to the entire series by her.
