An amazing and fascinating novel to read. I found Paxton to be an interest character with all his attributes that made him decisions that were not always the best ones. I enjoyed his EMT partner and the police Sargent trying to figure out Paxton. The author expertly created quite a compelling story.

this was a really unique take on mystery, the plot was engaging and I was hooked from beginning to end. The characters were interesting and I enjoyed going through this book.
