I've been reading the Maggie Hope mysteries for awhile now, so when NetGalley offered me the chance to read the next one early, I jumped on the chance. Things I really liked: Maggie Hope has some very real issues and we get to see her coming to terms with everything that's happened to her. I think this was better done than her running away to Scotland after she killed a man, but it wasn't perfect. I think it focused a little too much on the Blackout Beast repercussions for Maggie mentally as opposed to how Nicholas Reitter was really just the straw that broke the camel's back and this had been building for a long time.
Things I didn't like: Maggie constantly leaving Mr. K. She leaves him to go to the US the first time, she leaves him to go to Scotland (okay, not her choice, but still!), and now she's leaving him again to go to Hollywood. Anyone with a deep connection to their pet couldn't leave them as much as she does without some sort of remorse. Maybe he'll make the trip to LA?
