Omg! Omg! Omg! This book was amazing! I love books where it keeps me guessing on who done it! This book definitely did that and more.
This is Book #2 in the Count to Ten series. Each book has been getting better and better. I thik the Judge got what he deserved. It is called Karma. He did not teach his children the right from wrong. Beautifully written with well developed characters. I can not wait to read book #3, Three.
☆☆☆☆☆
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I received a free copy of Two in exchange for an honest review.
Seond chapter packed an emotional punch and made me feel a little queasy - it's unusual a book can make me feel physically sick.
I couldn't help but think of An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestley - a family all being connected to the dead woman but all lying about it and trying to deceive each other, let alone the detectives.
Different to One in that you become aware of the identity of the culprit much earlier on in the book, and this worked really well.
Looking forward to reading the rest of the series, and the blurb of Three explains that the victims and detectives from the first two books are coming together. I can't wait! My only worry is will Jane Blythe be able to continue with the superb writing and brilliant ideas for another 8 books?

Wow – this was another great book in this series and I really look forward to more.
I was shocked from the first murder down to the last and I was shocked at how cold the murderer was and how everything was so well planned out.
I thought Ryan and Paige were great detectives and really trying to do their job, which was difficult with Judge Everette. He was so difficult and you could tell right from the beginning how many secrets he had within his family.
Sofia was awesome but I was very worried about her and how sick she appeared to be. She really wanted the murderer caught and I was frustrated at what her father did to silence her.
This family had so many dark secrets and I was so shocked at what started to be revealed and how twisted certain things ended up being. That being said I was so impressed with the author’s ability to create such a web of craziness and horror.
I had figured out who the killer was before it was revealed but I was not disappointed in the least as I needed to know what was behind the reasons for the killings and I was not disappointed.
I look forward to more in the series!

After finishing One, I was eager to dive into Two to see what happened next in Jane Blythe’s Count to Ten series. I had been hoping things would pick up where the prior book left off, continuing the storyline, but this one was separate from the first.
At first, such left me disappointed. I need to know what came next for the characters in the first book, I need answers to my lingering questions. Although my disappointment remained, I did grow curious about this one. I did not enjoy it as much as the first book, but it did have me powering through it.
As with the first book, the mystery aspect of this story was really interesting. There were some elements I could not buy into – some details were a bit too farfetched, some aspects did not follow police procedure, some elements seemed to be missing to keep people guessing – but it did not stop me from being curious. There was plenty to uncover, and I was happy to keep reading.
Also like the first book, I did not buy into the romance with this one. It felt flat, I did not feel anything for the relationship, and it annoyed me a little bit. In some ways, I think this would have done better as a suspense, not a romantic suspense.
All in all, an enjoyable second book. I did not enjoy it as much as the first, but it has me curious about the rest of the series.
