Book Log 2014 #19: The Stolen Ones by Richard Montanari

A string of killings linked to an infamous - and now closed - asylum is the latest in this series featuring Philadelphia detectives Kevin Byrne and  Jessica Bolzano. Once again, I've stumbled into a series in the middle and didn't realize it until I'd started reading, and while there were clearly references to earlier books you can read this as a stand-alone.

And it's worth the read, as the partnership between Byrne and Bolzano is mature and well-defined and the story is complex without being needlessly convoluted. I do plan on going back to start at the beginning, but if you did want to jump in with this book it's worth the read.
