I could not wait for this book to come out as I had previously read the first three in the series and I can say that I was not disappointed in the least. It has or talks about many of the same characters from all of the Bowers Files so you feel that you are still in the loop when you begin reading. Truthfully, I did have a problem getting through the first 100 pages but at that point it started getting my attention and just built from there. By the time I reached the last 100 pages I didn't want to put it down until I had finished it. Every time that I thought I had a good guess as to who the bad guy was, something happened and I would have to re-think it.

The only drawback that I had with the book (and it was very minor) is that one of the murders takes place where they work with chimpanzees and it gets into a little bit of too technical talk for me concerning the research that the foundation was doing, metacognition being one part of it. I kept wanting them to get that part over with.

I can't wait for the next one, The Queen, to come out next year.
