I wasn't sure how I would like serialized fiction, waiting for the delivery of the next piece of the story (I'm a fast reader). I downloaded episode 1 and really liked it, and by that time the entire first season had finished so I could download it all and devour it. Loved it. Love the range of characters, the in-depth look into each one, and the focus on suspense and intrigue over gore and murder.Then I saw that season 2 was coming in January, though this time I would have to wait and read the story week by week. Would I still like it as much? Would I forget the story in between or to go buy the new episodes?Well, I've read episode 7 and just started 8, and I have to say that the pacing of every week delivery is perfect. I'm a pretty voracious reader, and what I like about this is that I get my dose of thriller action but still have time to live my regular life. I don't get so caught up in the book that it is over in a day or two (along with a long list of to-dos that never got done because I was reading), and I can live with the characters for weeks as the story develops.If you like this story, I think you'll also like the other book by coauthor David Wright, Available Darkness.My advice? Download the first series and read it in full, and then get the episode-by-episode series 2. You'll get to experience the story both ways and decide which one works best for you (the story is thrilling and suspenseful no matter which way you read it).
