A couple of years ago, I read a mystery with a woman reporter as the protagonist, and I was hoping that this book was a part of that series - NOT.  I knew when I read something about the concert being European that this was not the series at all because the reporter in my longed-after series was American (gotta love the X-ray feature of the Kindle iPad app).  However, given that this was not that series, my beloved series, I was still glued from the first paragraph of this book.I hadn't planned on devoting that much time to reading any novels as I'm back to being busy again, but I found time for this book.  I read this within 24 hours (with sleeping).  This book had me glued from beginning to end.  I watch enough news to know that people like the characters in this book exist. Willow Rose tapped into their psyches - I don't know whether to praise her or be scared that she could come up with such horror (hence, only the four stars).  This was my first introduction to the author, and I was pleasantly surprised that I had already downloaded her boxed set, the first three books of the series.  I'm pretty sure Bookbub notified me that it was free.  That's how I came across this specific book - through a Bookbub email notification.  I can't wait to read box set, and I eagerly await purchasing the fifth book in this series ... 9, 10.  I liked that Willow Rose gives the audience something to look forward to - like why did deQuincy steal the dead king's bones and why does he want Rebekka Franck.There was only one spelling error that I could see in the book (I believe "of" should have been off, but I didn't make any notes).  Also, some phrases were in the European vernacular, but it wasn't irritating as I knew what the author was saying.  These days more and more books have a plethora of mistakes and general bad editing.  This book was refreshing to read.  Again, only one spelling error.  The grammar was also correct.Delightful - maybe the better word is - Interesting read!
