I feel like each successive entry in King's Holly Gibney line showcases an author dialing in more precisely on what he loves about the character and what makes her books so unique. Holly is no different. To date, this feels like the purest distillation of what makes Holly such an engaging character. The supporting cast are all given blessedly ample page space, and the thrill and looming danger of Holly's investigation demands a frenzied pace. 5/5
