Wow! I almost gave up on this book early on as it started out a bit slow. I had just finished listening to the first Matthew Corbett book "Speaks the Night bird" which I gave 4 stars. It also starts out rather gritty (like the first one) and sometimes it is just a bit much. So I told myself I would give it one more chapter, and it really took off. I liked this story and mystery even better than the first one, and I like how Matthew's character is developing. Plus, his journey as a detective is quite exciting. This book has one of the most suspenseful scenes ever written in my opinion! I was completely on the edge of my seat. The setting of late 17th century New York and surrounding areas is also interesting. McCammon is gifted in the way he reveals things to the reader at the after they have been revealed to the main character; you learn them as the character reveals them as part of the story. Very clever. I am on to the next one
