Valerie.Michigan | May 1, 2024 |   This is a good mystery with twists you don't expect and others that I did see coming. There is a lot of science and DNA and some different life style of Freegans. Where I can appreciate some of that life style others I would not want like eating out of garbage. The characters have a good mix to them. The main character is Cece Prentice. Cece owns a big house and land. She was disowned by her father. While still close to her twin brother. Cece dumpster dives for food. I like her. Cece is an artist Cece's twin brother Teddy is found dead at work. Her life is in danger. She ends up working with Detective DeRosa to figure out what happened to Teddy and who wants her dead. I wanted more to the story. Some of the ending I did not like but it worked. Other choices I did not like but for the most part I liked the story and want to see what happens next to Cece in the future. The setting is New York state. I was given this ebook to read by Net Galley and Midnight Ink. In return I agreed to give a honest review of it and be part of Drawing Conclusions blog tour.

Many of the main characters in this series are Freegans, which are a group of people who work to live as green as possible. They grow much of their own food, create their own energy to feed back into the power grid, barter with people regarding getting things done, and recycle/reuse items as much as they can. The author does a good job of exposing us as the readers to the Freegan lifestyle and explaining what it entails.
Besides just their Freegan lifestyle, the characters are complex, well-rounded, and delightful. I really enjoyed seeing the dynamics between CeCe and her friends, her family, and the police department. I enjoyed watching the beginnings of CeCe's romance with Frank unfold.
The plot line moves along at a decent pace. It's not dragging but it's not going by so fast that you can't keep up either. I had a little bit of an inkling who the villain was, but I was not totally sure until just before it was discovered at the end of the book.
All-in-all, this is a great start to the series and important, so definitely read it before any other books in the series! (
