I vacillated between a 4 and 5 star review, but decided to go with the 5 stars because the book is socially relevant regarding child services and foster care, and because it's an excellent mystery novel.
I enjoyed the fact that there were leads that ended up going nowhere because it was nice to have certain topics raised, even though they were not the path the mystery took, and because not every lead should take you to an answer. I did see the answer some time before the book took you there, but that is also good - there should be enough clues to the answer so that you don't feel like it came from left field, and not so many that you feel like there should have been an arrest on page 50.
Flora Dane (introduced in an earlier book) is a welcome addition to the cast of characters. Both D.D. Warren and Flora Dane could carry books on their own; having them together makes an excellent dynamic.
One of my favorite things is when books bring in social issues, but not in a preachy way. This book does an excellent job of that. We have to consider the overcrowded child services programs, the variety of quality foster care (Manny with excellent services, although we don't spend time with him, and the girls with the abysmal situation), gangs ...
All in all, a fun and riveting read.
