Still underground fortresses. Still only for the uber rich. Still nutz. Alexa Glock is a forensic odontologist living and working in New Zealand on a visa from the US. She has issues and PTSD, plus is becoming involved with a DI she has worked with. I love the realistic detailing of this beautiful country including hiking trails and violent weather (even better than watching Brokenwood!). Fast paced and with lots of things to learn about forensic processing that is pretty much technologically nearly the same anywhere with electricity and the internet (great research efforts by author!), policing in a country other than the US, and fascinating characters. Loved it! I requested and received an EARC from Poisoned Pen Press via NetGalley. Thank you!
