The story was OK. Not terribly memorable but not totally forgettable either. The one thing I wanted to point out though was the main character talks about the old Greeks (it's toward the end of the book p.252) and then she refers to herself as their present day "ancestor" - and what she really wanted to say was "their present day descendant" not an ancestor of those ancestors. It just struck me as sad that she didn't have an editor to catch that for her. I read a kindle version of the story...
Plot involves an interesting setting and unexpected twist. The Christian references and absence of vulgar & profane language are appreciated & contribute to the quality of the book!
Book one may have set up some of the background for this book, however, I did not read them that way. A profession I have never considered staging, I sure hope murders are included. Interesting I think I worked out the criminals but when all facts are listed you can see it easier.
