It seems these days people are reading more on the go, so they are looking for something digestible in a short time period.  Just like shopping at the small stores is easier than dealing with the big box retailer.This trend of smaller stories is very prevalent in every genre these days.  Some it lends itself to more than others.  Usually when you think of a mystery, you need character development, scene building, rollercoaster store lines to add space between the suspense.  You certainly don't think of 119 pages.In this case, you should.This book captures you from the first paragraph and holds you until the end.  It isn't bogged down with filler.  But yet, there is plenty of heft to the story line and enough left over for a solid who-dun-it.  The best part is, the characters still hold mystery all their own that will continue to build as the series continues.The authors has found a formula that works, and it works well.Just like the short films of old that ran before the main picture, sometimes they stole the show.  And so this this.  It stands all on its own if you want to stop at just one, but I bet you can't.
