Well crafted, plenty of possible baddies, subplots in abundance, plus glimpses of New Zealand culture and natural history all make this a satisfying read with an ending that promises more. It's the first of the series I've read and made me want to read the others.

In my day they called them bomb shelters, now they're called bunkers. Still underground fortresses. Still only for the uber rich. Still nutz.
Alexa Glock is a forensic odontologist living and working in New Zealand on a visa from the US. She has issues and PTSD, plus is becoming involved with a DI she has worked with.
I love the realistic detailing of this beautiful country including hiking trails and violent weather (even better than watching Brokenwood!).
Fast paced and with lots of things to learn about forensic processing that is pretty much technologically nearly the same anywhere with electricity and the internet (great research efforts by author!), policing in a country other than the US, and fascinating characters. Loved it!
I requested and received an EARC from Poisoned Pen Press via NetGalley. Thank you!… (mais)

This is a new series for me, and I have mixed feelings about it. The plotting was solid; it was definitely a page-turner. I also enjoyed reading a novel set in undeveloped New Zealand. On the other hand, the central character irritated me at times. She's smart. She knows her profession. But she also considers a man as a love interest within minutes of meeting him. Seriously? I'll read the next volume in the series, but I'm still up in the air about this one.

most of the book was quite engaging, with only a few noticable gaffs, but the ending was quite disappointing.
the denouement was an exceedingly brief chapter, done in a (completely different) manner of impressionistic drama.
since aside from that it was pretty engaging,
