A brilliant follow-up to The Red Files. While I didn’t feel that the wedding plot and the investigation plot were melded as well as they could be, and I didn’t enjoy the investigative aspect as much as the first book, this is more than made up for by the character development out two leads get, and just how darn adorable their love story is. I laughed at the bagpipes, and I cried at their wedding vows—which was particularly awkward as I was listening on my headphones in the bathroom stall at work! At first I was a bit annoyed at the fact that the investigation was so connected to Catherine’s history (it seemed there wasn’t much investigation going on, they just kept talking to people they already knew) but eventually getting more of Catherine’s backstory paid off and I became invested. I’m looking forward to reading The Fixer soon!
