Review: Great new author to me, love detective/mystery within the MM realm!

Excellent new author to me. I found the action tense and the characters engaging. I did feel a little distance emotionally at times - not sure what caused that but there did seem to be more distance to me from Beck than from Zach. It was a little confusing at first with the POV changes - head hopping even if not 1st person is still confusing when you've got several within the first chapters. Plot was good - you know early on an idea of what is happening you just don't have all the puzzle pieces. Once it hit about 83% I was reminded that authors do sometimes have characters do out of nature things just to set up a particular event in the story - and such was the case here. It was the only thing I didn't like. I just hate when someone does something stupid - something you KNOW they would not do. I took a whole star off for that. Up until that point it was 5 stars all the way - on account of I feel a bit cheated. This last happened to me in a completely non related book called They Never Die Quietly which is not MM but does have a serial killer. I would definitely pick up another book by this author - and really value the ability to keep all parts of the story straight and moving throughout the book.
