Review:
When the #1 racer for an illegal and popular bike race was found dead, detectives Klementina Ristovych and Ralph Dietrich were on the case. The body was identified as being the sport's representative Catherine Kuang. Now the question remains, was it murder or accidental death caused by a meteoroid burst?
Reports soon prove it was indeed murder but with multiple suspects and motives it's going to require the detectives to dig deep into the case. What does a terrorist group and drug and gun smuggling have to do with the death of Catherine Kuang? And how does the recent murder of Kuang's younger sister Allison factor in?
I thought the mystery was good but not as intriguing as the one in the first volume. I have to say that the ending surrounding detective Ralph Dietrich really sparked my interest because who is he and what is he really doing up there on the space station. This definitely had me wanting to know more of this side of the story.
Similar to the volume #1, I feel like this series continues to move a little slow at times but it's still an enjoyable read. I do wish there was more to detective Ristovych than a tough and grouchy older cop I wonder if the author will give more insight into her character as the series moves along.
