This one took place in Washington D.C. Where Kate was visiting for seminars with the FBI as well as a
The book was interesting in a few ways. There seemed to be much more dialogue than previous books in the series. There also seemed to be oh so many more important secondary characters. And it was also interesting to see the Kate character outside of her natural habitat, her comfort zone. Now, if one of the next three books gives me more back ground on Kate's girlfriend I'd be a happy clam.
As an aside, it was also interesting how Kate's new partner was introduced in such an oblique way.
