I enjoyed the diversity of ages and backgrounds of the characters and their respective characterizations. The relationships of the characters at their homes and at work seemed true-to-life and the dialogue flowed naturally pertinent to the relationship or location. I was engaged learning some terms related to safecracking, skateboards, and the differences in buying locks.
I broke one of my own reading rules and read the back cover prior to reading the book. Reading the back cover of a book is now synonymous with watching a movie trailer. Back covers and trailers used to encapsulate the reader and filmgoer but there was a turn in marketing to reveal rather than entice. As marketing turned the corner I stopped reading the back covers of books and stopped watching movie trailers. However, on receipt of the book I read the back cover. So I was waiting and waiting and waiting for the reveal when the police would target Skye, the young protege as a chief suspect in their investigation. I thought I'd reach the end of the book before it occurred. Ignoring the back cover I feel I could have enjoyed the book more thoroughly even with the few loose ends that are never brought to conclusion. Loose ends sometimes begin the opening mystery of a new series but to my knowledge this was planned as a stand-alone.
