4.5 stars
I agree with the brief description on the back of the book:

"Tender, Terrifying and Triumphant"

“Luke lied. You lied. Be at the funeral.”

And so begins a current day triple murder investigation for Aaron Falk in his hometown of twenty years ago; while simultaneously remembering the death (suicide? or murder?) of a childhood friend (Ellie) of both Aaron’s and Luke’s. Harper kept me guessing through the entire novel!

3.5/5 stars

Powerful & heartbreaking! 6 year old Zach teaches us all about love, loss, anger, & sympathy after gun violence impacts his family, his school, & his community.

Jane Hawk is still fighting the bad guys and the bad gals, but book #3 was some what predictable, and seemed to be a set up for book #4. I will wait to read reviews before continuing onward with book #4 - disappointing given how strong the first two books are in this unusual fast paced, character driven series.
