Review:
Here is an interesting AU. The "What if" is well-chosen and the author doesn't shy away from the consequences of what the changes implied. The case is interesting and the plot rings true.
The characters are also well-written there interactions are spot on. I liked the relationships between Monroe and Nick of course. But the author doesn't forget Hank or Juliette and that make it all the more interesting. Some of their smallest interactions are quite charming especially in the last chapter.
