110. Peter Pan Must Die–John Verdon

4th Book in the Dave Gurney series.

I received this book free through Edelweiss publishing in return for an unbiased review.

I have not read the previous Dave Gurney books, and although I'm a serial reader and try to only read series books in order, I did not feel too confused regarding happenings in the previous books, even when they are mentioned directly.

The characters were interesting and complex enough to keep me interested. The settings were interesting and colorful and fit the story quite well.

As for the puzzle and the mystery, I solved it long before our crack detective got to it. Even so, I enjoyed the psychological complexity involved in trying to understand who the killer was, and what the motivation for the murders were in the first place. And I can see how assumptions can easily blind people personally involved into missing key pieces of a puzzle and thus be led astray.

In short, I enjoyed the book and found it interesting enough to consider reading the series from the beginning.
