3.5/5 stars
Honestly, this was definitely my least favorite book in the series so far…
Instead of evolving as a better, stronger character in this book, I feel like Marion went through a major character devolution instead. She saw in the past how working together helped bring cases to a close even easier and yet she insisted on lying to her friends and leaving them out of a situation they could have absolutely helped in. And then she just kept making everything worse and worse as the story went on and she somehow still ended up getting a job offer at the end of the book? Like how? By ignoring direct orders her boyfriend was beaten, a man was murdered, $5,000 was lost, and 2 more people were nearly killed ……..
