Review: Really, really good mystery, probably a good idea to read the Trevor Joseph books in the right order

To be honest, I didn't like the prologue at all, it was eerie and I didn't se any point in it (still don't, actually, after having read the whole story) and I nearly put the book down before it even got started. I am glad I went on though, because once it got going I was completely hooked!This story has everything I want in a mystery, it is well written, the characters are very well developed and credible and the plot is truly captivating.This is apparently the second book about Sergeant Trevor Joseph who, when the story starts, is a patient at the psychiatric hospital where the story takes place. Presumably it was events in the first book (Without Trace) that put him there, and it is probably better to read the books in the right order! (I had never heard of this series before, I found this on the free list, which is why I started with number two).Those who like Elizabeth George's books about Lynley and Havers will probably enjoy this book, which has the same kind of story-telling, i.e. not a lot of violence, not a lot of sex, not a lot of humour, but a very well told, captivating and really hard to put down story with characters you get to know and want to read more about. I am glad I found a new author and a new series and I'll make sure I get the following books!
