This one's a bit augughhhh. I did like the introduction of Blake's parents which leant some development to the relationship, but the solution doesn't make a whole lot of sense. That aside, it's pretty easy to see where the mystery is going but still takes a while to get there. The ending is pretty exciting, at least.
