The mystery continues, and while I expected that we wouldn’t have confirmation on who the ‘new’ killer is, we do get a look at the underbelly of the town.
Sam is suspicious of everyone and with good reason. She follows her nose and some interesting points are made here about the town and the security people feel in a town like this. When it is broken like this, people react in different ways.
This was a tense issue, and there are some good storytelling points. I was on the edge of my seat with the spying, and we got a bit of a surprise here. It really builds up the tension, and I enjoyed the relief that is felt with the reveal.
Even so, there is a killer out there - another one! - and Sam is determined to find who it is. The funeral brings a clue, but is this it?
The art continues to be excellent, with some brilliant colouring and use of light. I love the expressions made here, and there are some excellent scenes.
This continues to be a brilliant read.
