I see this as Kim Harrison's love letter to her Hollows fans. And I loved it. Of course, I knew what it would be about (any Hollows fan knows what "The Turn" was. Yet, it did start slowly. I don't know why...I should have been anticipating what I knew was coming next, but the first 150 pages were pretty slow. But, I didn't quit, I knew what was coming, and Harrison delivered! This was an excellent explanation of what had started it all and gave us a chance to touch base with some characters we know from later (in the time line) books. There are still unanswered questions, however. How do our main character's lives unfold from here? The going will not be smooth...
I am now about to start Except the Dying, the first Murdoch mystery. We first discovered this back when Dish included the Ovation channel free. The series was called "The Artful Detective" then. These mysteries are set at the turn of the last century in Toronto. The world was teetering on the edge of modern forensics, automobiles, telephones, sound recordings and rudimentary film. Then we lost it the show--it just disappeared from Dish. Now, we are subscribing to Ovation but only when we are in Florida where we have Xfinity. This is the book series that the tv series is based on and we are looking forward to it.
