The Review

What a rich and compelling mystery read. The author did an incredible job of layering this story with a suspenseful atmosphere and the chilling tension that mounted as the story progressed. The inclusion of science fiction into the story was a welecome twist, and exploring a medical sci-fi mystery that touched upon life after death and so much more helped elevate the overall mystery of the novel.

The heart of this narrative was in the character development. Ward was a great protagonist, with the balance of his perosnal life with his new case showcasing the heart and drive of the story’s hero. The mystery behind Bella, especially her standing in the case as  either a victim or a criminal (or both?), and the shocking villain of this story helped to make the overall plot more grounded and eerie as the story progressed.
