Well, that wasn't nearly as enjoyable as I had hoped.
The mystery was interesting initially but I was pretty disappointed by the reveal - the actual way it was revealed and the entire cause of the outbreak. The only thing I liked less than that was the selectively mute kid, Travis, having a POV. Honestly, I can't think of a single thing that it added to the story and it broke any tension I was feeling.
I guess I wanted something a bit more gritty.
One good thing is that I never felt like I was missing anything by jumping in with the 4th book in a series. And the narrator was pretty good. I loved the Canadian accent. Made me miss talking with my Emotional Support Canadian.

Overall it's a good suspense novel. It is slow reading, long and drawn out, until halfway through when it picks up. The ending is actually quite exciting. It turned out to be a better book than I thoght at the beginning. It's a busy storyline with many loose ends and plot tangents, that seem to go nowhere, and therefore do not add much to the basic story. It will be interesting to see whether the author can create a series from this book.
