Once I started to read this story I had to finish it. Thankfully, it's short enough to read in one setting. The story is well-written, engaging and fast paced. I had to know what was going on and how Summers was going to solve the murders. I hate it when I can see the ending of a story or a novel coming a mile away. This destroys any sense of mystery and suspense. Thankfully, I had no idea how this story was going to end. I love being surprised. Summers is a great character, complex and not a typical good guy so I loved him a little. The story does have a bit too many grammatical errors which distracted me at times, especially when they pulled me from the story. The story also lacks description and contains a lot of dialogue. I would have preferred a bit more balance. But still, this is a compelling read with minor issues.
