Good gods this was awful.

So. Much. Repeating. You don't need to constantly repeat the children's ages. You don't need to give ever single friend the title "my dearest friend" every time anyone is mentioned.

It also took more than 50% of the book to even get to the murder and there was almost no sleuthing at all. This was so boring.

Rehashing all the past books in the series. Remember this murder? remember this person? remember? remember? remember?!

I'm glad that Carl got some facetime.


So many inconsistencies! It's mentioned it was a 9mm gun not too long after the murder. someone mentions they had one. Kelly asks Burt..."what kind of gun was it? you never told me" ...Yes. he did.

Conversations with Cassie and Eric are confusing too. They talk about how everyone knows now. Then there is a big conversation about informing families.



Why do I keep reading these?
