I really enjoyed this book and I was surprised that I did.
I had the impression that this book would have a lot of "action," which it did, but I found that I really enjoyed it anyway.
Characterization was not very deep, but the main plot of the book turned on some orphaned children. I wouldn't have guessed it, but I enjoyed the characters of the children.
Part of the story was the relationship between Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles, and that was a smaller part of the story than I anticipated.
I'd love to talk to someone who's read some of the other books in the series and could tell me if that's typical. Of course, one of the problems with reading a book in a series out of order is that the "backstory" will not (or should not) be repeated for you as a newcomer. For myself, although I'm curious about the backstory, I probably will never have time to read the other books in the series.
However, if I find a paperback from this series floating around in a drugstore or a used book sale, I'll grab it.
An enjoyable discovery.
