I picked Without Direction not realizing it was part of a series but this didn't matter - even though it was the 2nd book I was able to follow the story and the characters with no problem. 

The book itself is a bit dark at times, but which mystery-thriller isn't? I enjoyed the vivid descriptions and the way the author keeps you guessing. I don't want to give any spoilers, so I will tell you this - the book is worth it!

Well-written and engaging fast-paced thriller!
