We follow along as Satterthwaite and his team interview and reinterview anyone who might have information and at first, it seems there is absolutely no connection between those young people. When more bodies turn up – and more suicides are attempted, Satterthwaite knows he has to get to the bottom of it all. Satterthwaite is very worried about his much younger brother, Mikey, and Mikey’s rebellion has been putting him through a lot of worries lately.
I was happy to see the solution to the case and wasn’t surprised by how it worked out. However, I had to scratch my head at how the police got there – but once it did, they were off and running. It was out of the blue – like a lightning bolt – just wham and case solved. The reader had all of the clues that lead to that solution, but the police didn’t, so I have to wonder how they had their grand epiphany.
We also meet and learn of Satterthwaite’s romantic entanglements during the course of the investigation. Since the characters never really reached out and grabbed my interest, I really didn’t care one way or the other. As a workaholic who thought of nothing other than work, I think it would be very hard for anyone to have a relationship with him – and he seemed to have no interest in trying to change that. He was proud of himself for showing just showing up at his brother’s twenty-first birthday party – only an hour or so late.
For me personally, I probably won’t read any more books in this series. I thought the story was slow and plodding with characters who totally did not interest me. There was no real ‘feel’ of urgency, danger, or doom even though the setting was a creepy forest with druidic stones. Should you choose to read it, the writing is good and I hope you’ll enjoy it.
