This is the latest addition to a contemporary roman fleuve. A series of novels featuring the main character, Riley O'Kerry, and a supporting cast. It can be read out of sequence. The Brooding Hour the thirtieth book of a hundred novel project.
This novel reads quickly because it follows a Family mystery. I really enjoyed it, such a natural read, with lots of conversational moments between characters. Some of the passages are beyond insightful, about relationships and people. It's time well spent. I'm reading two other books simultaneously and the pull was to continue with Befallen, it won so to speak, bravo.
