Pretty Good

This was a slow starter for me that got really good towards the end - only "to be continued" in the next book. The author took a lot of liberties with his descriptions of the Ocean Springs PD and government, but seems to know the locale pretty well. I live here and while the deviations from what is our city here bothered me at first, I decided to not be nit picky and just enjoy the story. I understand this is a work of fiction and an author writes it how he wishes to tell the story. All in all it turned out to be a pretty good read and I will read the next in the series because I want to know what happens now.
