Anniversary Day

Short Review: I don't like reading books out of order. But this was on sale and it was the start of a sub-series. So I picked it up. I followed along with the story line fine, but there was characterization that I missed out on because I had not read 6 of the previous 7 books.

The first book in the series was a well done police procedural with a scifi setting. This keeps the primary focus on the police procedural elements, but because the crime is a much bigger crime than the first book, the plot has to follow a number of different actors that are all working with the crimes in front of them. Part of the focus of the book then is the problem in getting the whole picture. That is well done but moves the story from a traditional police procedural to a larger thriller.

I alternated between the kindle edition and the audiobook. The audiobook was well done.
