A Killer in the Family by Gytha Lodge
3.5

This is my second book from this series, as I DNFed book 1. I did not even realize this was book 5 in a series. Though there were some things happening that I had to infer on, it did not take away from the main plot/mystery. 

What I liked: 
The overall plot was well thought out. There were enough twists that you had to piece things together and the end result was satisfying. I like the team of officers in this series and found myself really enjoying the time we were with those characters the most. In part 2 of the book the plot picks up tremendously and that is what kept me in. 

What I didn't: Just like the first in this series, there are times when the storytelling drags. Over descriptions at times, and to be honest I did not like Aisling. Her characters choices-- especially at the end of the book-- were just ridiculous. I am tired of the I have a secret past and no one can find out trope that is used to cliffhang chapters. Listen we all are going to find out, so just tell us in less pages.
