"With the doomsday asteroid looming, Detective Hank Palace has found sanctuary in the woods of New England, secure in a well-stocked safe house with other onetime members of the Concord police force. But with time ticking away before the asteroid makes landfall, Hank's safety is only relative, and his only relative--his sister Nico--isn't safe. Soon, it's clear that there's more than one earth-shattering revelation on the horizon, and it's up to Hank to solve the puzzle before time runs out . . . for everyone" --

For me, this series should have stopped after book 1.
I did not need a conclusion. I certainly did not need the 500 pages of books 2 and 3, which merely detracted from the freshness of book 1.
As a mystery it was good. I enjoyed the ride to the surprising conclusion. I admit–I solved it! Ha! About two sentences before the reveal. I guess that doesn't count.
But of more importance than the mystery, of course, is the whole trilogy's question, “What would you do, really do, if the world were about to end?” (Perhaps we can translate that into “What would you do if you were going to die some day?”) I like Palace's answer.
