I like the cover gives the whole mystery theme look to the book.Sounded interesting a person from your past returns who you haven't seen or talked to in years just shows up out of nowhere asking for help and your not suppose to be going hmm and it starts you down a new mystery.I read the other first impressions glad I did found out its a sequel that like many I have never read is this book apart of the first book do you need to read to know what's going on or is it stand alone type where you don't need to catch up to understand the story the detective the author.
