The book is a solid 4 stars for me, with the narrator improving to a solid 3 stars. I like Kate, I like Lee, her partner, and I like Inspector Hawkin, her work partner/boss. The only drawback for me was the rather gruesome nature of the multiple murdered children. But hard to have a murder mystery without murders, and at least we weren't subjected to lengthy and loving descriptions of the dismemberment or torture or whatever that some books seem to think we must need or want.
