All throughout reading this book, I felt as if there was something missing. A connection with Val, emotion in the narrative. I think this story may have worked better for me if it had been first person narrative rather than third person. As it was, I wasn’t much engaged in the story and reading it felt a bit like a chore.

2.5 stars, rounded down to 2 because Granddad apparently already knew who the killer was, but went on a stake-out with Jewel anyway.

I read an ARC through NetGalley.
