i ❤️ this series. the only thing i think needs to be improved is the romance—it’s not quite what it could be.

I've read the third book from the trilogy and can say that it's the best book out of all three. The author conveyed the mood of urgency and confusion in Angie and James' relationship very well, while also giving them time to reflect on their actions. Angie got on James' nerves and was to blame for everything. She didn't discuss anything with him, made stupid decisions, and was surprised when he yelled at her, saying that she was avoiding him, afraid of relationships and that they should take a break. She needs to deal with her issues, and he will always be waiting for her if she decides to. Finally, Angie understood her feelings and put everything in its place.

I want to give a separate complement to James' cool daughter, a wonderful character. She's the perfect stepdaughter, one can only dream of. If it weren't for her, the April events wouldn't have happened because Ginny went all out. The murders in this book were very interesting. Firstly, the old case about the dead girl that Angie investigated unfolded into such a tangle of horrible past events that it's simply amazing. What else could there be? Although I easily guessed some of the moments and who the killer was, even this predictability didn't spoil the impression of the book. Secondly, I liked the storyline of Kjell, Angie's former partner, he's so cool. James understood this and gave him a chance to advance in his career.

Loved all the books in the series and this one was probably my favorite! Definitely going to read more Loreth books in 2024!

Angie is just trying to have a nice vacation with her boyfriend when, sigh, she and Maddocks stumble upon a partially buried/washed up body in the middle of nowhere. Of course, now we have to set romance aside and deal with this situation. And this leads Angie into the past to figure out why a group of women may have wanted a young, flirty girl murdered. Let's be honest... she has some secrets!

Very compelling. Towards the end I was very displeased about a certain direction the novel was taking but no worries, everything ended up swell. *wink*

So far with this series:

Book One = 3.75 stars
Book Two = 3.25 stars
Book Three = 4 stars (because my favorite character is still in the game!)

So yeah... now I want a Book Four!
