Good plotting, good characters, good writing, surprising developments, and unexpected conclusion. I tended to skim over the pages or paragraphs where Robinson fills in time by giving background information on his detectives, providing reminiscent comments by his detectives triggered by something a character said, and Banks commiserating with the circumstances of a character. I thought his constant repetition of the facts collected by the police that noticeably occur 3/4 quarters way through the book were annoying - fillers? biding his time to end the story? a need to remind himself of the facts so far? wondering how to fit the facts together to point to a killer? The story seems to have two lines of inquiry but Robinson threads these two together so that they become one.
