This book is a good, quick and casual one-night's read. The plot synopsis are in other reviews, so you won't find one here; we all know that there are only so many plot lines in the world for authors and it is up to the writers to adopt one and make it his or her own. That is accomplished by developing the characters, the milieu in which they interact and finely drawing out tension. None of those here. If you cannot figure out the ending of A New Dawn Rising by one third through.... A good writer can make up for that by having good characters living in a well-drawn  background.Still, not a bad first effort for a new writer--- a solid C. For the price, a good but not great mystery for fans to curl up with on a long winter' night.
