My review could have been “Had a lot of fun, go and buy it” but as this post is for a blog tour I think I must write something more.
I loved the first book in this series and I was wondering if the second one would as good as the first.
I had high expectations and I’m happy I wasn’t disappointed.
This series is becoming a favorite as I love Charlotte, her dialogues with the dead sister, and her complex family dynamics.
She’s a complex character, damaged and strong at the same time. An excellent detective as she’s able to see what other can’t see.
This book is a page turner that kept me reading till late in the night and it was sort of “just one more chapter”.
It’s fast paced, gripping and highly entertaining. There’s a lot of humor and there are some heartbreaking moments.
The mystery is full of twists and turns. A dysfunctional family, greed, secrets. It reminded me of some darker Golden Age mystery: everyone can be the culprit and you don’t know what the next twist will be.
An excellent story that I strongly recommend.
