mystery; probably her best to date

I have indulged in this series for the last three weeks. this is the fifth book I have read. I enjoy the fast paced, and well done research to make everything both well explained and easy to fallow. I love the characters and love the way each story adds to the series. I always seem to say this is my favorite after each one. I am extremely drawn to the relationship that kay has with each members of her team and I love her niece Lucy. ( )

The wooden dialogue, totally cliche black-or-white characters and obvious self-insertion overrode any attempt at plot. ( )

Awesome, awesome, awesome....what more can I say. The dialogue was believable and the emotions were real. Yes, the end was predictable, but the action and suspense throughout the novel had me on the edge of my seat not wanting to put the book down! ( )

It took me awhile to get into this. The author was going for realism and early on I found myself bogged down with jargon and struggling to remember who was who, or even who was speaking during conversations, which seems to have been left intentionally vague for effect. On page 66 someone addressed a Kay and I wondered “who’s Kay?” (Kay is the main character). I got into it eventually and enjoyed it well enough, though I found parts of it far-fetched, especially that the house was never fully searched when Emily went missing so her body lay undiscovered in the basement for six days. I may try more PC but I probably won’t read any more in this series. ( )
