Two environmentalist partner with an ex military marine to devise a plan to blow up a hydroelectric plant that they believe is harming nature in an act of sabotage. They meet up, iron out the details, then procure the necessary materials they need to get the job done.
Their scheme goes mostly the way they thought with one big exception they find out about the day after the deed is done.
The three handle the news in different ways and with a varied emotional reaction. They then start doubting each other will be able to keep the secret of what they have done and tensions begin to mount.
I hoping was hoping for more going on and there were long sequences where not much actually happened. I found myself checking the time every 20 minutes which is never a good sign.

I was a bit surprised that the characters weren’t reintroduced. Since it had been several months since I read the first in the series, it took me a bit to remember who everyone was. Once I did, I fell under their spell again. I really do like the cast. The story was entertaining, although the ending was weak. While it did answer the big questions, it raised a few more that aren’t addressed. There were some timeline glitches and other editing errors that should have been caught. Hopefully they were addressed between the ARC I read and the finished version. While the characters draw you in, the story should have been better.

While this is the first book in the series, it follows the novella that really introduces the characters. I read them out of order, but I didn’t have trouble figuring out the main characters and their relationships. There are plenty of laughs, especially in the beginning, but as the book progresses, things get more serious, lending itself to some great characters moments. Not that the humor ever goes completely away. Meanwhile, we have a strong mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. I will definitely be back for the prequel soon.

Fans will know we’ve been given hints about Phyllida’s past before, but we get some answers in this book, which I enjoyed. Enough of the staff come along for the trip, so that part feels like a normal part of the series. And I’m curious to see what some of the developments mean for future books. The mystery was a little focused on events over actual deduction, but there was still enough here to keep me entertained. The ending, while being a little over dramatic, was also satisfying. Fans will be happy with this entry in the series.
