Review of 'The absent one' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I would have enjoyed the first book in the series more had I not figured out what the ending was going to be 20% in. The second book was even better. I'm really enjoying the series and can't wait to read book #3. I'm taking a bit of a break to read the Silkworm by J.K. Rowling (writing under alias Robert Galbraith), which seems to be a very similar style book (with a similar hero) in my mind.
