"3rd Body" was given to me free of charge in exchange for my honest review of the book.  I read the previous books that dealt with Darc, Janey, Mala, Trey & Maggie and I enjoyed each of them immensely.  The murders and murderers in those books were very dark, demented and extremely evil but there has always been a great balance of levity in the books that keep it from consuming you into a dark place and this book was no exception.  This latest story found our cast of characters evolving and growing, each in their own way and as with the previous books, Trey, Darc and Janey had me in stitches, no pun intended, at certain parts of the story that really helped lighten the mood in the book while still making you remember that they were working on some horrible crimes.  This time I had about 3 suspects for the killer, and I love that about the authors; they always give you such interesting characters that it's easy to be fooled and sidetracked.  I will say that the way the authors describe how both Janey and Darc process facts, information always leaves me a little for a loop but it's interesting to see how both of them think and why they do the things they do and why they act as they do with those around them and it's cool to see them both growing with new experiences while still holding on to their original charm & stubbornness.  The best part of it is, even though it helps if you've read the previous books of the Darc series that've been written, if you haven't yet, it won't detract from your enjoyment of this book and I think once you've read this story you'll really want to go and get your hands on the previous stories.
